The Indiana Pacers circled around star point guard Tyrese Haliburton midway through the first quarter of Sunday night's Game 7 loss in the NBA Finals knowing they would be without their leader following a devastating injury.

The Pacers pushed the Thunder to the brink. But without Haliburton, they didn't have the firepower to complete another playoff rally.

Without Haliburton in Game 7, the Pacers will need the rest of the team to step up. It starts with Eastern Conference Finals MVP Pascal Siakam, but they'll also count on Myles Turner's defense and paint presence, Andrew Nembhard and Aaron Nesmith's shooting, and T.J. McConnell's spark off the bench.
