Tyrese Haliburton limped slowly to the microphone Friday night with a bad ankle, a sore tailbone and a battered body. When Haliburton heard New York Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau calling for a double team, he swung the ball to Andrew Nembhard, who bobbled the pass momentarily before lining up a 31-foot, tiebreaking 3-pointer with 16 seconds to go, giving the Pacers a critical 111-106 victory in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference semifinals. “I probably held the ball a little too long or should have been more aggressive to attack the blitz,” Haliburton said after finishing with 35 points, his second straight playoff career high.
As thrilling as the series between the Knicks and Indiana Pacers has been, it’s the controversial officiating that has dominated headlines. Game 3 on Friday night was no different.
A heckuva shot from a heckuva player on Friday night.
