For Game 2 on Tuesday night, the Cavaliers were short-handed. They were without three key pieces to their roster. Darius Garland, Evan Mobley, and De’Andre Hunter did not play.
The Pacers trailed by as many as 20 points in the first half. However, Indiana is a team that will never surrender that quickly. They kept chipping away at Cleveland’s lead in the second half. Eventually, Tyrese Haliburton was at the free-throw line with 12 seconds left. He needed to make two foul shots to tie the game. Haliburton made his first free throw and missed his second. Despite that, Haliburton grabbed his own rebound. The 25-year-old created space with a step-back three and nailed that shot. Indiana had the 120-119 lead with 1.1 seconds left. Haliburton stole Game 2 for the Pacers on Tuesday night.
