Chris Paul was 33 when he won his first Conference Finals game.
Isiah Thomas was 26 when he won his first Conference. Finals game.
Tyrese Haliburton is 25 and up 3-1 in the Conference Finals.
He’s the next great pure point guard. And he’s 100% right now a superstar. – 11:01 PM

Before Eastern Conference Finals
Pacers had two games all year where they had 2 players drop 30+ points in the same game (one of them against the KNICKS in November)
Now, it’s happened in two games of this ECF
Game 1: Haliburton/Nesmith
Game 4: Haliburton/Siakam – 10:56 PM

That was an A-lister performance from Haliburton. Just absolute superstar stuff.
I’m just trying to get ahead of the dumb cycle now. If he has quiet games against OKC (and everyone does), people will pretend like this gem didn’t happen. He is a no-questions-asked superstar. – 10:54 PM

Going live here momentarily with @MotorCityHoops to talk about Tyrese Haliburton’s masterpiece against the Knicks and the Pacers being up 3-1. Then, Thunder-Wolves series, and some stuff on NBA Draft Early Entrants.

Probably the biggest area of growth for Tyrese Haliburton this postseason has been his defense. Hasn’t really been taken advantage of 1 on 1, and has been all over the place making plays as a helper in the way that had people excited when he was in college. – 10:51 PM

Pacers hold off the Knicks for 130-121 win, now have 3-1 series lead. One win away from the NBA Finals.
Masterful game from Haliburton: 32p-12a-15a-4s-0t; Siakam added 30pts. Mathurin with 20. Knicks had three with 22+ pts: Brunson, Towns, Anunoby. – 10:49 PM

After several poor Pacers offensive possessions, Haliburton checks back in. Pacers’ edge is still 12pts. – 10:19 PM

Magnificent 1Q from both teams, but especially the Pacers.
– Shot 68%
– Made 6 of 8 3s
– 11a on 15 FGs
– Already triple-double watch for Haliburton: 15-5-6
– Siakam with a quick 11pts.
10-2 run late has the Pacers up 43-35. – 8:36 PM

One game after shooting 5/25 from distance, Pacers make 3 of 4 by the first timeout — called by NY.
They’re up 16-9. And Haliburton already has 3-3-3, doing a little bit of everything. – 8:13 PM

John Haliburton, father of Tyrese, reportedly cleared to attend Pacers’ home games again, starting with Game 4. However, he will be up in a suite and not courtside.

More on this storyline
Scott Agness: Massive half from Tyrese Haliburton with his dad back in the building: 20-9-10. 6-0 burst over the final 90s for the Pacers to have a 69-64 halftime lead. Pace was good, but can be better. 17pts in transition. Jalen Brunson/Karl-Anthony Towns combined for 30 of 64pts -via Twitter @ScottAgness / May 27, 2025
Tony East: Found John Haliburton. He said it was tough to watch his kid from afar but is obviously amped about tonight. Unbelievable how many fans found him for high fives. -via Bluesky / May 27, 2025
