Tyrese Haliburton's response to LeBron James' post about him
Recently, there has been some talk across the NBA that perhaps Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton is overrated. But he seemed to answer those critics by leading his team to a stunning five-game triumph over the Cleveland Cavaliers, a team that won 64 regular-season games, in the second round of the playoffs.
He hit a gutsy game-winning shot in Game 2 to give the Pacers a 2-0 series lead after the first two games in Cleveland. Then, in Game 5 in Cleveland, he scored 31 points on 10-of-15 field-goal shooting and 6-of-10 from 3-point range, plus eight assists to put the Cavs away for the summer.
