Welcome to the Comeback Playoffs, led by the Indiana Pacers. Indiana’s rally from 15 points down in Game 1 of the NBA Finals was the 10th such comeback — from 15 or more — in this season’s playoffs.

Rick Carlisle's squad has mastered the art of the comeback, defying the odds with a historic mental toughness that's redefining what's possible in the playoffs.

If the Pacers end up losing this series to the Thunder, they are never going to forget Game 4 -- when a 3-1 lead was right there for the taking only for the Thunder to close on a 12-1 run to steal a 111-104 victory to send the Finals back to Oklahoma City tied, 2-2.

The Pacers have come back from deficits of 15 points or more five times this playoffs, leading to some staggering stats.

The Indiana Pacers have been underdogs throughout the NBA Finals, but head coach Rick Carlisle is using that to motivate his team.
