Transcript

Could the Pacers win 1 in a million? Um, how improbable were the Pacers' 4 comebacks? Pacers had 4 comebacks, one in each series in the 2025 series. Claude's response was collectively about one in 10,000,000. So in round one, game 5, you guys had a 2.1 win probability down 7 with 39 seconds to go to win in overtime. Round 3, game one, you guys had a 0.3% win probability down 4 with 2 minutes and 51 seconds and won 138-135 in overtime. And in the last one, game one of round 4, you guys had a 3.6 win probability down 9 with 2 minutes and 52 seconds left and won 111-110. So these numbers are crazy. Multiple, you multiply those together of the odds of winning all 4 games, it literally comes out to winning one in 10,000,000. So I wanna get to not only Claude's response as to how great this is, but what would you say about, what would you say about your team and that run? Like how were you guys able to, I know you guys didn't want to get down, but it was something about y'all once y'all get down that just made y'all even lock in more.
