Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton forever became a part of NBA in-season tournament lore on Monday courtesy of his unbelievable clutch shooting in a huge 122–112 win over the Celtics.
The tournament’s anticipated inaugural quarterfinal game between Indiana and Boston came down to the wire, as Haliburton looked to make a play at the three-point line with the score tied at 105 and 1:33 left in regulation.
After watching Celtics star Jaylen Brown switch onto him in the pick-and-roll, Haliburton elevated and drilled a huge 27-foot shot while drawing the foul. The 23-year-old went on to convert the free throw to add to the momentum, making for a beautiful four-point play that sparked a game-closing 17–7 run.
