In a standout performance, Tyrese Haliburton recorded a triple-double with 32 points, 15 assists, and 12 rebounds, leading the Indiana Pacers to a 130-121 victory over the New York Knicks, taking a 3-1 lead in the Eastern Conference finals. This remarkable game, held at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, marked Haliburton’s second career postseason triple-double and the first in NBA playoff history with at least 30 points, 15 assists, and 10 rebounds without a turnover. Pascal Siakam also contributed significantly with 30 points.
The Pacers are now just one win away from their second NBA Finals appearance, with Game 5 scheduled for Thursday in New York. The match showcased star players, including Jalen Brunson’s 31 points and Karl-Anthony Towns’ 24 points and 12 rebounds for the Knicks, although they could not recover from another double-digit deficit. Obi Toppin’s clutch three-pointer with 46 seconds remaining sealed the win for Indiana, which is on a streak of not losing consecutive games since early March.
The game was well-attended, featuring numerous former Pacers players and VIPs, including John Haliburton, who returned to watch his son after being away due to a prior incident. Tyrese expressed his joy at having his father present during this crucial game. Both teams started with impressive shooting percentages, creating an exciting atmosphere as Indiana initially led, lost their lead briefly, but then regained and solidified it. Despite the Knicks narrowing the gap late, the loss was compounded by Towns’ injury, leaving them unable to mount a final challenge.
