What kind of confidence does it take to pull off these playoff comebacks, hit game winners in the Finals? ‘When I get off the bus, when I put on my shoes,’ there is no doubt, Tyrese Haliburton said, ⁦@TheAthleticNBA⁩ nytimes.com/athletic/64071… – 12:45 AM

Tyrese Haliburton is the ONLY player with three go-ahead shots in the final 5 seconds in a single postseason.
He’s got more of those in the 2025 postseason than Kobe Bryant had in his entire career.
Since play-by-play began in 96, LeBron is only player with more than Hali. – 11:47 PM

Haliburton’s shot and the (seemingly inevitable) Indy late-game comeback will be the prevalent talking points, but don’t sleep on the Pacers knocking off the turnovers. They had 19 in the first half and finished the game with 25. Got back to who they are. AK – 11:15 PM

I was here for Aaron Gordon’s buzzer beater in Game 1 of the second round series and I can tell you this building is a hell of a lot quieter after what Tyrese Haliburton and the Pacers just did tonight. Though maybe not as quiet as the Garden after that Game 1. These playoffs – 11:13 PM

Michael Grange @michaelgrange
OKC wins TO battle 24-6 and takes 16 more shots & gets 38 points from SGA (and five 3s from Lu Dort) and still lose because the Pacers wouldn’t let go of the rope and Haliburton is cash at the buzzer. Pacers win 111-110 after trailing every minute of the game. Wild. – 11:12 PM

Gerald Bourguet @GeraldBourguet
They really voted Tyrese Haliburton as the most overrated player in the NBA. They really said he’s not a superstar. Fun start to this series! The Pacers are one of the most resilient teams I can remember. Winning that game despite committing 25 turnovers is just absurd – 11:11 PM

Anthony Slater @anthonyVslater
Similar late collapse for the Thunder to Game 1 of the Denver series. Controlled almost the entire night, double digit lead in the fourth, everything melted away late and they were beat by a dagger jumper (Aaron Gordon then, Tyrese Haliburton tonight). Sets up a deep series. – 11:09 PM

Scott Agness @ScottAgness
It’s over. Pacers trailed for all but 45 seconds.
But they got a stop, then Haliburton made yet another game-winning jumper. They win 111-110.
Pacers now 4-0 in Game 1s this postseason. – 11:07 PM

Scott Agness @ScottAgness
Haha Siakam pretended to tie his shoe in front of the free throw line to give the bench more time to consider challenging the foul. Haliburton signaled that his arm was held.
Instead, two FTs for SGA (32pts). – 10:52 PM

Vincent Goodwill @VinceGoodwill
Pacers miss two chippies underneath the basket, then toss the inbounds pass away to J-Dub for a dunk. The little things.
92-79, 9:42 remaining.
When Haliburton returns, he has to assume a scoring posture – 10:34 PM

Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU
Bennedict Mathurin cost the Thunder a challenge. Your reminder that Mathurin, not Siakam or Haliburton, led the Pacers in free throw attempts per game this regular season. – 10:22 PM

Tim Cato @tim_cato
at some point, every gen z man faces a choice: are you a lamelo or are you a haliburton? – 9:21 PM

Rylan Stiles @Rylan_Stiles
Mark Daigneault wants a timeout with OKC up 6 after that Haliburton triple. There are so many ways OKC is playing well, but also the chance to play even better. Most notably capitalizing on second chances more and off Pacers turnovers. – 9:21 PM

Michael Grange @michaelgrange
29-20 Thunder after 1Q and SGA being super aggressive, has 12 on 11 shots. Thunder able to contain Haliburton (1/3) while mostly staying at home (Pacers 3/9 from 3. Does not bode well. – 9:09 PM
