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.

INDIANAPOLIS — Tyrese Haliburton limped slowly to the microphone Friday night, May 10, with a bad ankle, a sore tailbone and a battered body.

So did Haliburton who, at times, almost single-handedly willed the Pacers back from a nine-point deficit in the final 9:45 to get within 2-1 of the Knicks of the best-of-seven series instead of falling into the dreaded 3-0 deficit that no team has overcome.Haliburton finished with 35 points, his second straight career high, and had seven assists.

“This one means a little more than the one in Los Angeles,” Nembhard said, referring to his regular-season game winner against the Lakers. “I think we kind of got into a little bit of a rhythm playing at the end and it was even kind of random. It opened up some space for guys to make plays.” “A terrible decision and something you learn from,” Brunson said after appearing to try to draw a foul on the play. “I knew the time, I knew everything that was going on. I just made a terrible decision.”
