The Cleveland Cavaliers are the only team to overcome the 1-3 deficit in the NBA Finals when they beat the Warriors in 2016. It would be a different story if Pacers were on the winning side in Game 4.

When you have a team on the ropes, you gotta finish them off. If you go up 3-1, you&rsquo;re in great shape,&rdquo; <\/em>Barkley said. <em>&ldquo;But now, you go back, you know Oklahoma City, number one, they got a better team.
