Most career appearances at the NBA Finals as an All-NBA player. This’ll be the first time for Tyrese Haliburton, Jalen Williams, and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. pic.x.com/trtKrYf18b – 12:17 AM

(I don’t think you can go “wrong” with either Haliburton or Siakam for ECMVP. Siakam played incredibly well and his mismatch scoring was a huge reason for their success. Also think intrinsically everything Indiana does is so predicated upon Hali that I would have voted for him) – 11:49 PM

Harlan’s “Haliburton has gone mad!” call was a good way to cap TNT’s 35-year partnership with the NBA. What was essentially a three-team trade takes effect in August: ESPN gets TNT’s Inside the NBA; Turner gets rights to NBA highlights for the next 11 years, plus 13 Big 12 – 10:50 PM

Siakam over Haliburton is a bit of a shocker.
Unless you voted with five minutes left in the fourth quarter. – 10:49 PM

Seems like this game was huge in the growth process for Haliburton. Got his confidence back in the second half. – 10:35 PM

Indy traded Paul George to OKC for Victor Oladipo + Domantas Sabonis.
Indy traded Sabonis for Tyrese Haliburton.
OKC traded George for SGA and picks.. one that became JDub.
So 3 of the 4 All Stars playing in the 2025 NBA Finals were acquired through Paul George trades. – 10:31 PM

Quite the finish to the half. Four scores in 45s.
Big pick-and-pop Haliburton to Turner for 3, then Siakam layup after a Nembhard steal.
Pacers up 58-54 led by 16pts from Siakam. They’re 8/15 from 3. Knicks got a big half from Robinson: 6/7 — and they kept with the pace. – 9:12 PM

Knicks coming back with Brunson and Bridges out of the timeout after two straight 3s give the Pacers a 6-point lead.
They’re 7/11 from range. And Haliburton is on the board with a 3. – 8:50 PM

Glass half empty: That was Tyrese Haliburton’s fourth scoreless first quarter of the postseason.
Glass half full: Indiana has won the previous three games where Haliburton failed to score in the opening period (Game 1 vs Bucks, Game 5 vs Bucks, Game 2 at New York). – 8:34 PM

No All-NBA selection had more single-digit scoring games this year than Tyrese Haliburton. He went from triple-double to triple-single, and Indiana’s redemption from Game 5 starts with Hali
