On Tuesday night, the Indiana Pacers escaped with a 115-114 win over the Milwaukee Bucks. All thanks to a stunning four-point play by Tyrese Haliburton.
With just seconds left on the clock, the Pacers trailed by three points. Haliburton caught an inbound pass and made his way down the court into the corner. As Haliburton jumped up for the three pointer, Giannis Antetokounmpo ran into him and sent him crashing down.
Luckily for the Pacers, the shot was perfect and Haliburton was sent to the free-throw line. After a review over the foul call, Haliburton stepped up to the line to take his shot. Hitting the free throw, Haliburton gave the Pacers a one-point lead.
Haliburton ended the night with 14 points and 10 assists, and only two three-pointers. Pascal Siakam had 25 points and 12 rebounds, and Bennedict Mathurin put up 17 points for the Pacers.
For the Bucks, Antetokounmpo put up 19 points, 17 rebounds and seven assists, Brook Lopez added 23 points, and Taurean Prince finished with 18 points. The Bucks have dropped to a 36-28 record on the season.
The Pacers move to a 36-28 record after the win, breaking their three-game losing streak. However, the Bucks still hold the edge in the Eastern Conference. Both teams, along with the Detroit Pistons, are fighting for the No. 4 seed in the playoffs as the regular season ends.
