Apparently when Tyrese Haliburton and his Indiana Pacers are down double-digits late in a playoff game, they have the opposition right where they want them.
How many instant classic comebacks can the former Oshkosh North star deliver? The answer is more.
Down 15 points in the fourth quarter of Game 1 of the NBA Finals against the Oklahoma City Thunder and nine points with less than three minutes left, Haliburton and the Pacers found yet another improbable way to steal a 111-110 victory on the road after Haliburton hit another winning jumper with 0.3 seconds remaining.
It was his fourth game-winning or tying shot in the playoffs.

After turning the ball over 20 times in the first half, the final score was the only time the Pacers led over the Thunder the entire night.
Indiana’s fifth double-digit, fourth-quarter comeback in the playoffs is tied for the largest final 12-minute rally in NBA Finals history over the last 50 years.
