Tyrese Haliburton shut Ben Stiller’s mouth after burying the Knicks to secure the Pacers’ spot in the NBA Finals
he Indiana Pacers punched their ticket to the NBA Finals for the first time in 25 years with a stunning Game 6 victory over the New York Knicks in the Eastern Conference Finals. This triumph echoes their last Finals run 25 years ago when they also eliminated the Knicks in a thrilling Game 6 to advance to the championship. However, in 2000, their dreams were dashed by the top-seeded Los Angeles Lakers, led by MVP Shaquille O’Neal. O’Neal delivered one of the most legendary Finals performances ever, averaging 38.0 points and 16.7 reboundsper game, and the Lakers clinched the title in six games. History seems to be repeating itself, as the Pacers are once again entering the Finals as underdogs. This time, they will square off against the Western Conference’s No. 1 seed, the Oklahoma City Thunder, and their own MVP, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.
Tyrese Haliburton’s Savage Reply to Knicks Fan Ben Stiller
Despite the odds being stacked against them, the Pacers have flourished under the leadership of Tyrese Haliburton, a dynamic point guard who’s no stranger to being underestimated. In fact, Haliburton was voted the league’s most overrated player by his peers earlier this season-a label he’s used to fuel Indiana’s remarkable postseason run. The Pacers’ Game 6 victory not only secured their spot in the Finals, but also sparked a memorable off-court moment between Haliburton and diehard Knicks fan Ben Stiller.
