Tyrese Haliburton is currently the apple of the eye of Indiana Pacers fans. While most fans and critics put their bets on the Oklahoma City Thunder, Haliburton had other ideas. Despite the Thunder dominating for most of the game, they fell short by just a solitary point—all thanks to Haliburton’s incredible last-minute antics.
With the game looking done and dusted, Haliburton made a clutch shot that proved to be the game-winner. The Thunder looked shell-shocked as the score read 111-110 in favor of the Pacers. And why won’t they? They were in control of the game and even had a 15-point lead in the fourth quarter.

Riding high on Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s 38-point play, the Thunder had the Pacers commit as many as 24 turnovers. Unfortunately, with the Thunder’s inability to convert the turnovers into points, the Pacers slowly clawed back their way in. And from there on, it was the Pascal Siakam and Tyrese Haliburton show. Meanwhile, with Haliburton sending a wave of excitement through Pacers’ fans, their reactions moments before the shot went in has taken the internet by storm.
