Thought this was the best game of the series for Mikal Bridges.
Did a much better job in his assignment on Haliburton after getting screened to oblivion so often in Game 4.
Shared 3rd in scoring (12 points, 50% FGs) and 1st in assists (5, with Brunson) while having only 1 TO. pic.x.com/ywrFIyUGkl – 10:57 PM

Including playoffs, the Indiana Pacers are only 3-10 this season when Tyrese Haliburton scores fewer than 10 points this season.
Haliburton had only 8 points on 2-of-7 field goals, his fewest field goal attempts in a game since December 26. – 10:50 PM

New York had 10 steals in Game 5. They weren’t able to turn Haliburton over. But the 10 steals is the most the Knicks have had since Game 2 of the semifinals at Boston. – 10:43 PM

Six shots and two threes is unacceptable by Tyrese Haliburton.
Far too tepid of an effort. Credit to the Knicks’ defense for making things hard on him. – 10:21 PM

Tyrese Haliburton enjoying his underdog privileges right now.
Not many All-NBA selections get to be stuck on 1/5 FGs through 3 quarters without applied slander as a consequence.
We saw this more than a few times to start season – 10:05 PM

Pacers scored 43pts in the 1Q of Game 4, have just 45 in a half of Game 5.
They’ve never led, have trailed by as many as 14; it’s 11 at the break. Towns has 17/10 already, Brunson with 14.
Pacers have played 11. Haliburton 0/3 FGs (4pts). Just 14 paint points. – 9:02 PM

Haliburton: 2 pts 1 Reb 1 ast late in the 2nd. Switching the better defense vs. him. This is where Siakam has to take over – 8:57 PM

“He really thrives off that trash talk, off hearing opposing crowds go after him.”

Pacers installed an alumni wall at their practice facility two years ago — to recognize those that came before them.
“Just a great idea,” Rick Carlisle said. “Pretty cool.”
Haliburton: “It’s an exciting time to be a Pacer fan and be a Pacer alumni.”

I’m LIVE on the @SportingTrib talking about the Thunder punching their ticket to the NBA Finals and going through Bleacher Report’s “24 under 24” list from 4 years ago where SGA and Tyrese Haliburton were No. 18 and No. 23 between … Talen Horton Tucker! x.com/i/broadcasts/1… – 11:48 PM

More on this storyline
Tony East: Carlisle on Haliburton’s shots: “As a team, we have to be aggressive and we have to have a level of balance. I’ll look at it. There’s things I’m going to have to do to help him.” -via x.com / May 29, 2025
Tony East: “Rough night for me. I’ve got to be better, setting the tone, getting downhill,” Haliburton says. “I feel like I didn’t do a great job of that.” -via x.com / May 29, 2025
“Coach (Rick Carlisle) is always on me to rebound,” Haliburton said before catching himself. “Everybody is on me to rebound, so just trying to step up there and be the best I could. Everybody’s boxing their guy out, but especially Mitchell Robinson, Josh Hart, they got so many guys that just crash the glass like crazy and I’m just trying to come in and clean it up. And I thought I did a decent job at that.” The Pacers have thrived in this postseason as a team that prides itself on its depth and the contributions that it can get from up and down the roster. For that to be the case, though, their best player has to be able to play and perform utilizing that same motto. -via New York Times / May 29, 2025
