Remembering the 2000 NBA Finals
1 / 30Game 1 Pacers 87, Lakers 104 The Pacers got off to a slow start in their first-ever NBA Finals appearance, with the Lakers leading by 15 points after the first quarter. But thanks to a scoring combination of Mark Jackson (18 points) and Austin Croshere, Indiana was able to narrow the lead down to just two points in the third quarter. Unfortunately, a 13-2 fourth-quarter run doomed the Pacers in Game One, as Indiana was unable to overcome a monster 43-point, 19-rebound game from Shaquille O'Neal.
