Tyrese Haliburton is once again on cloud nine because of his late-game heroics.
The Indiana Pacers rallied from a 15-point fourth-quarter deficit Thursday night and stunned the Oklahoma City Thunder, 111-110, in Game 1 of the NBA Finals.
Haliburton, just as he did to the New York Knicks, capped the rally with yet another game-winning shot, this time with 0.3 seconds remaining on the clock. The lead was Indiana’s first and only one of the game.
Haliburton has hit game-winners against the Milwaukee Bucks, Cleveland Cavaliers, and now the Thunder in these playoffs with shots that capped spectacular comebacks.
Fans are now sure as to why he has been so clutch.
