Donovan Mitchell on the last offensive rebound the Pacers grabbed that led to the Haliburton shot: “I should’ve grabbed it. That’s on me.” – 11:04 PM

Tyrese Haliburton on overrated chants: “That one was unexpected. I didn’t know we had beef. I think now that that label is there, it’s going to be that every time we play somebody on the road. It’ll probably follow me until the next poll comes out. Overrate that.” pic.x.com/p9lANoW3qw – 10:56 PM

Tyrese Haliburton rebounded his own free throw, then sank a 3-pointer to complete an absurd comeback in Cleveland, which gives the Pacers a 2-0 series lead heading back to Indy.
Now…going live shortly.

The Aaron Nesmith play won’t get talked about enough but without it, Haliburton probably saves $25,000. – 10:40 PM

Strus has done a really nice job of denying Haliburton the ball all game, not letting him bring it up, staying glued to him for entire possessions. – 8:52 PM

Max Strus’ pickup point on Haliburton after made Cavs baskets. Strus has been in a dead sprint on inbounds passes to find Haliburton and get attached to him full court. pic.x.com/1D9HuipdEr – 8:37 PM

Cavs upped the intensity + it made the Pacers uncomfortable early, leading to 13 TOs. Once up 20, Cavs’ lead is 61-50 at the break.
Haliburton remained in the game, but got left wrist area taped. Myles Turner (15pts) has been huge, helping keep them in it. Mitchell has 21. – 8:11 PM

New York closes within four. Sam Cassell walks toward the end of the Celtic bench, points to Jayson Tatum and shouts, “C’mon.” He’s in at a timeout a moment later with Celts leading, 84-80, and 9:26 left. – 9:06 PM
