Tyrese Haliburton watched his season end in a sweep in the Eastern Conference finals a year ago. This year didn’t start much better.

With just 0.3 seconds left, Haliburton hit a 21-foot jumper to give the Pacers a 111-110 win over the top-seeded Oklahoma City Thunder in Game 1 of the NBA Finals . “When it comes to the moments, he wants the ball.
