Knicks in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference finals, winning 130-121 and taking a commanding 3-1 series lead. The game showcased a historic performance by Tyrese Haliburton, who recorded a triple-double with 32 points, 15 assists, and 12 rebounds while committing no turnovers . This feat is particularly notable as it marks the first time in postseason history that a player has achieved such statistics without any turnovers since record-keeping began in the late 1970s.
Tyrese Haliburton finished with 32 points, 15 assists and 12 rebounds without a turnover in a historic postseason performance to lead the Indiana Pacers past the New York Knicks 130-121 on Tuesday night for a 3-1 lead in the Eastern Conference finals.
With his father, John, back in Gainbridge Fieldhouse, Haliburton became the first player with such a stat line in the postseason since turnovers were first tracked in 1977-78 and he carried the Pacers within a victory of their second trip to the NBA Finals. Nikola Jokic and Oscar Robertson are the only other players to post 30 points, 15 assists and 10 rebounds in a playoff game.
The Pacers lead the series 3-1 and are just one win away from the NBA Finals. Game 5 is Thursday at 8 p.m. at Madison Square Garden.
Pacers. Forward Aaron Nesmith had 16 points and center Myles Turner had 13. Jalen Brunson led the Knicks with 31 points. Karl-Anthony Towns had 24 and OG Anunoby had 22.
Nearly a dozen former Pacers players, including Jermaine O’Neal and Lance Stephenson, joined Haliburton’s father in the heavily gold-clad crowd. So did WWE Hall of Famer Triple H, rappers Rob 49 and 50 Cent and singers John Mellencamp and Jelly Roll. The Knicks had their own fan section featuring film director Spike Lee and actors Timothee Chalamet and Ben Stiller.
What they witnessed was one of the most entertaining games of this postseason. Both teams were shooting at a clip of 70% long into the first quarter as the Pacers raced to a 43-35 lead. New York stormed back in the second quarter reclaiming the lead three times, the last at 64-63. But Haliburton helped Indiana close the half on a 6-0 run to make it 69-64 as he finished the half just two rebounds short of a triple-double.
This victory positions the Pacers favorably as they aim to close out the series in Game 5. Historical performances like Haliburton's underscore not only individual talent but also highlight team dynamics that have propelled Indiana through these playoffs. As analysts noted post-game, effective shooting and strategic execution were pivotal factors contributing to this decisive win . The upcoming games will be critical for both teams as they navigate this intense playoff landscape.
