Tyrese Haliburton could not find his scoring touch on April 26, but the Indiana Pacers point guard still stole the show when he drove for the game-winning basket against the Milwaukee Bucks in front of his own fans.
The 24-year-old never gave up as the Pacers held off a late Milwaukee charge to beat the Bucks 121-118 in overtime and take a 2-1 lead in their National Basketball Association (NBA) Eastern Conference first-round play-off series.
Haliburton, who connected on just eight of his 22 attempts from the field, still delivered a triple-double of 18 points, 16 assists and 10 rebounds to help the Pacers withstand a 42-point performance from Khris Middleton.
The Milwaukee forward drilled a three-pointer to tie it with 2.3 seconds left in regulation and made another trey to level at 118-118 with eight seconds left in overtime.
