Tyrese Haliburton on courtside #Knicks fan going back-and-forth w/ him: “He was just talking before the game. It seemed like whoever sat in that seat all series had something to say to me, so once I got going I knew I was going to pick somebody today to get me going.” #Pacers – 6:46 PM

Thought the Pacers would be in over their head in this series. Injuries to NYK were clearly a factor, but today was a reminder that Tyrese Haliburton is a certified star. Special performance on a big stage. – 6:18 PM

In all of those legendary Pacers-Knicks playoff series, Reggie Miller made 6+ three-pointers in a game one time.

Childhood me would be disappointed, but I rode the Pacers +3, OVER 207.5 & the high side on Tyrese Haliburton 3-pointers (3.5) made, which he eclipsed in the 3rd quarter. #BoomBaby was just healthier than #NewYorkForever
I’ve got another GM7 side, total, prop 3-pack out there – 6:10 PM

The Pacers have reached the Eastern Conference Finals for the first time since 2014.
Two trades for Tyrese Haliburton and Pascal Siakam alongside excellent drafting has put Indiana in position to be a sustainable contender in the Eastern Conference for years to come.

Tyrese Haliburton is going to be a great test of the NBA’s ability to create small-market stars moving forward.
He just won a Game 7 at Madison Square Garden. He was the darling of the In-Season Tournament. He should be all over the national TV schedule next year. – 5:59 PM

Knicks close the half with an 8-2 burst. Pacers shot 76%, led by 22 — and it’s 15 at the break, 70-55.
Pacers demeanor has been most impressive.

Every time Tyrese Haliburton makes a shot in this game, which is often, he’s having words with a courtside fan seated near the broadcast booth.
Could become an all-time story if Haliburton keeps this up for another 26 minutes or so. – 4:38 PM

Knicks are challenging that the ball was off Achiuwa. Replay looks like Haliburton’s right pinky touched it last.

The #Pacers lead 39-27 after a first quarter that saw them shoot 16-of-21 from the floor and get 14 points from Tyrese Haliburton. He’s gone back and fourth with some #Knicks fans courtside. It appears to have fired him up. #nyk #nba – 4:09 PM

Knicks trail Pacers, 39-27, after the first quarter.
Some notes:
– Admirable for OG Anunoby to play tonight but he might be 40%
– Tyrese Haliburton (14 PTS, 5/7 FG, 4/5 3PT) is out for blood
– Brunson: 6 PTS, 3/8 FG
– Siakam: 11 PTS, 5/6 FG – 4:09 PM

More than their shot-making (76% shooting), the Pacers being comfortable and in control was the most important thing for them in the 1Q.
Haliburton-Siakam combined for 25 of their 39. Pacers’ lead is 12.
Haliburton with all 14 of his points over the last 4mins. – 4:07 PM

What an incredible start for Tyrese Haliburton and the Pacers. Haliburton has already put up 11 points and 3 assists and is knocking down one 3 after another, as the Pacers are shooting 77 percent and lead 34-22, quieting the crowd here as a result. – 4:04 PM

Haliburton with 11 straight points after being scoreless in the first 8mins.
Looks like he’s found a Knicks fan courtside to fire him up — just like he did early this season at Cleveland.
