Jim Owczarski @JimOwczarski
Khris Middleton put together a gritty playoff performance for the ages, but
Tyrese Haliburton floated in an and-1 game-winner as the Pacers topped the #Bucks 121-118 in overtime of Game 3.
2️⃣ Extra chances huge for Indy

CONFIDENCE. Tyrese Haliburton has been pass-first all series. (1st player with a 15-assist triple-double in Pacers postseason history.)
But… 5 seconds left in OT, he splits the defense & hits the floater! Can you guess the last time a Pacer hit a winning shot that late? (2001) – 8:53 PM

Turner, Haliburton, and Siakam all get together near midcourt for high fives just after the buzzer sounds. they were terrific and led the Pacers to a special ovetime win. What a game. Pacers lead the series. – 8:35 PM

Pacers outlast the Bucks for 121-118 OT win. Haliburton with an and-1 on Beverley. It’s his first playoff triple-double (18-10-16). Turner scored 29.
IND 2-1 series lead.
They led by as many as 19, but game slowed and Middleton (42) was special.
Next: G3 Sunday in Indy. – 8:34 PM

Tyrese Haliburton zig-zagging into this floater to take the lead is so awesome. What a game!!! pic.twitter.com/XkU4Dxubvf – 8:34 PM

Haliclutch. What a play by Tyrese Haliburton. #NBAPlayoffs – 8:32 PM

Pacers inbound to the backcourt.
Haliburton gets to a floater and hits it, plus the foul. 1.6 seconds left. Pacers up, 120-118. – 8:32 PM

This is getting awkward for Haliburton – 8:25 PM

Ryan Blackburn @NBABlackburn
Honestly horrible some of the shots Haliburton settled from on that possession. Get to the paint! – 8:25 PM

Nate Duncan @NateDuncanNBA
Haliburton not even trying to get the ball on the inbounds. He just points to the other side. He is their best free throw a shooter you got to make a hard move to try to get the ball in that situation. – 8:12 PM

Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
Haliburton seems to want the reject to his left hand to create for others. Curious if Beverley continues to ice him that way. – 7:57 PM

Scott Agness @ScottAgness
Tyrese Haliburton had a heat pack applied to his left hamstring during the timeout. That’s his injured one.
He’s got 10-6-12 in 29mins as the Pacers lead by 11. – 7:28 PM

Anthony Richardson is here rocking a Tyrese Haliburton jersey. – 7:28 PM

Tony East @TonyREast
Tyrese Haliburton has tied a career high with 4 offensive rebounds tonight. – 7:18 PM

Tony East @TonyREast
Siakam and Haliburton with a long strategy conversation as they walk off the floor for halftime. The Pacers are ahead 67-55 at the break despite a pretty crummy second quarter. 15 points for Myles Turner leads the Pacers. – 6:46 PM

Tony East @TonyREast
Tyrese Haliburton, tip dunk? I don’t remember ever seeing that. – 6:44 PM

Scott Agness @ScottAgness
Pacers have been sharing the ball so well. Haliburton already has 10 assists (compared to the Bucks’ eight). Up to 20a on 24 FGs.
But the Bucks have worked their way back — to within 8. Used a 1-2-2 zone and Middleton has piled up 19pts. – 6:42 PM

Kurt Helin @basketballtalk
Who wouldn’t want to play with Haliburton? – 6:32 PM

Nate Duncan @NateDuncanNBA
Brook Lopez just not the same force as he has been. Sheppard and Haliburton both went right at him and scored. – 6:32 PM

Nate Duncan @NateDuncanNBA
Zone with Haliburton out of the game is a great call by Doc – 6:25 PM

Justin Verrier @JustinVerrier
Haliburton is flying today. – 6:11 PM

Eric Patten @EricPatten
Haliburton is so unlikable – 6:09 PM

Tony East @TonyREast
Tyrese Haliburton skies in for an offensive rebound, and the ball swings around to TJ McConnell for a 3. Everything coming up Pacers early, and it’s 35-18. Haliburton is amped. – 6:08 PM

Scott Agness @ScottAgness
Haliburton with early success attacking + getting to the rim, a positive outlook for the Pacers. And Turner has already knocked down a pair of 3s.
Long way to go. – 5:51 PM

Tony East @TonyREast
Tyrese Haliburton with a dunk. I am now predicting he’s going to take much more than 10 shots today. – 5:50 PM

Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
Doc Rivers talked about the Bucks’ need to touch the paint pregame tonight. Second possession, Patrick Beverley goes right at Tyrese Haliburton and draws a foul.
Two free throws and the Bucks are on the board in Indianapolis. – 5:45 PM

Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
Coming into this series, the Bucks focused on Indiana’s pace and Tyrese Haliburton, but now, they have a Pascal Siakam problem.
“We just gotta figure out a way. He’s a proven champion and he knows how to play.”
