But if you were to point to a single number that most defined the Indiana Pacers' against-all-odds 111-110 Game 1 NBA Finals win, which required a 15-point fourth quarter rally, 18 would tell you a lot.

The Pacers remain the only team in the postseason shooting better than 40% from behind the arc. Only twice in their 13 wins this postseason — the Game 5 clincher against Milwaukee and Game 2 in Cleveland — have they failed to hit more shots from distance than their opponent.
