In a pivotal Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals, Tyrese Haliburton delivered a performance for the ages, leading the Indiana Pacers to a 130-121 victory over the New York Knicks and securing a 3-1 series advantage.
Haliburton’s stat line was nothing short of extraordinary: 32 points, 15 assists, 12 rebounds, and zero turnovers. This marks the first time in NBA playoff history that a player has posted at least 30 points, 15 assists, and 10 rebounds without committing a single turnover.
From the start, Haliburton controlled the game’s tempo, facilitating the offense with precision and making timely shots. His ability to orchestrate plays, exceptional court vision, and decision-making are all factors that make Haliburton a bona fide star.
Supporting Haliburton’s stellar performance, Pascal Siakam contributed 30 points, while Bennedict Mathurin added 20 off the bench. The Pacers’ offense fired on all cylinders, shooting 51.1% from the field and over 40% from deep.
Despite strong individual efforts from Jalen Brunson, who scored 31, and Karl-Anthony Towns, who added 24 points and 12 rebounds, the Knicks struggled to contain Indiana’s ball movement and transition game.
With the win, the Pacers are now one game away from their first NBA Finals appearance since 2000. Game 5 heads back to Madison Square Garden, where Indiana will look to close the door on the Knicks and keep this postseason run alive.
