Rough 1H for the Pacers — yet it’s tied at 48 after a buzzer-beating layup from Haliburton, his first FG. But he’s holding his low back after a hard landing.
Siakam (16) kept them in it early, then Mathurin scored 11 of his 12pts in the 2nd.
They’re just 1/14 from range. – 8:09 PM

More on this storyline
Alex Golden: Tyrese Haliburton on recording 3 blocks in a game for the 3rd time this season: “I appreciate that Alex, thank you for recognizing that…so it goes: Myles Turner, Rik Smits, Jermaine O’Neal, Roy Hibbert, Tyrese Haliburton. That’s how it’s gonna end when I’m done here…but in my mindset, I’m the 5th best shot blocker in franchise history and you can’t tell me different.” -via Twitter / April 11, 2025
Tony East: Tyrese Haliburton says what we saw: it was his back that was hurt before halftime. He was bleeding. “I’m fine,” he says. Full quote: “Obviously people don’t like to see me grimacing with my history of back issues, but I’m fine.” -via Bluesky / April 8, 2025
Dustin Dopirak: Rick Carlisle asked how Tyrese Haliburton has become a better defender. Said he’s been tougher within the system. He’s taking a long way around saying around he’s gambling a little bit less and knowing exactly when to gamble without “swinging and missing” and that turning into a problem. -via Twitter @DustinDopirak / April 8, 2025
