Prior to tip-off of NBA Finals Game 6, cameras captured an unexplainable moment as Indiana Pacers star Pascal Siakam joined his team in a pre-game huddle.

That is, it appeared as if the Cameroonian-born All-Star had his eyes roll back while saying a "prayer."

With the Pacers blowing out the Thunder, 90-60 heading into the fourth quarter, fans joked this may be a result of Pascal Siakam (16 points, 13 rebounds) and his "pregame ritual."
As one user tweeted: "Pascal Siakam conjuring evil spirits to win this game, there's no way Pacers don't win this..."
The series tied 3-3, Game 7 will be played on Sunday, June 22 at 8:00 pm ET in Oklahoma City, where the 2025 NBA champion will be decided.
