Like Tyrese Haliburton’s Pacers, Nuggets were clutch kings this season. Does that mean they should’ve lost more games?

Every statistic that emerges about the Indiana Pacers seems more remarkable than the last, their string of clutch comebacks defining the 2025 playoffs while defying logic, history and physics.

But the most unshakeable stat of them all is probably this: After Tyrese Haliburton’s latest jaw-dropping jumper stole Game 1 of the NBA Finals last week, he had made 13 of 15 field goal attempts with a chance to tie or take the lead in the last two minutes this season. Once in all four rounds of the playoffs, he has scored inside of 1.5 seconds remaining to save the Pacers from a loss.
