Pacers' Tyrese Haliburton Doubles Down on Favorite NBA Team Growing Up originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Indiana Pacers superstar Tyrese Haliburton has stood out all postseason long, hitting four game-winning shots and helping punch Indiana's first ticket to the NBA Finals since 2000.

“He’s just a great player and has showed up for us since he’s gotten here,” said Haliburton’s backup, T.J. McConnell, “but has really taken (it) to another level in these playoffs, especially toward the end of the game. He’s just an incredible player who loves having the ball in his hands in those moments and has continued to show up.”

Haliburton, considered overrated by some of his peers, came up big again in Game 1 when his jumper with 0.3 seconds left gave Indiana a 111-110 victory over the heavily favored Thunder.
