It was a quiet night for Tyrese Haliburton, but the star of the Indiana Pacers presented herself when it counted the most.
After scoring only 12 points before the last seconds of the match 1 match Thursday against the Thunder of Oklahoma City, Haliburton delivered the winner of the match to give the Pacers a victory of 111-110 after a return in the second half.
The Thunder are always favored to win the series, but the chances have gone from -700 to -330, with the pacers +265 to win, by Fandual. Oklahoma City is favored by 11 in match 2.
However, it is clear that Indiana will remain a difficult team to beat.
Haliburton’s clutch strokes become a theme in this year’s qualifying series, and fans are not tired.
Before the winner of Haliburton’s match, it was not the best night for the Pacers.
Indiana, which has an average of 13.2 reversals per game during the regular season and 12.7 reversals per game during the first three laps of the playoffs, returned the ball more than 19 times in the first half, allowing Oklahoma City to take an advance of 57-45 before the second half.
Despite all the errors, the Pacers were still in the game before the fourth quarter, looking at only a deficit of nine points. Indiana has reduced this four-point deficit thanks to a 12-2 to half a quarter race. The pacers dragged by only three points before the last two minutes, and only one point with less than a minute to play.
Jalen Williams of Oklahoma City missed a rider with 24 seconds to play, but the Thunder has kept possession. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander then missed a shot and the Pacers found the rebound, creating the winner of Haliburton.
The NBA has seen many clutch players through history, but Haliburton’s race in the playoffs was one for ages. He struck a winning lay-up in the first round to end the series, had a three of the turn 2 and pierced a three-way buzzer to send match 1 of the Eastern Conference final to send the competition in overtime.
Now he has another game winner to his credit.
And the pacers as a whole have now mounted enough feedback to prove that no advance, regardless of the time that remains, is sure.
The Thunder are an exceptional team, and the series is far from over, but Haliburton and the Pacers have all the momentum before match 2.
