Tyrese Haliburton delivered a legendary performance on Tuesday night to push the Indiana Pacers one step away from their first NBA Finals appearance in 25 years. With a 32-point triple-double — including 15 assists, 12 rebounds, and zero turnovers — Haliburton led the Pacers to a 130-121 win over the New York Knicks in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals.
The All-Star guard became just the third player in NBA playoff history to post a 30-15-10 stat line, joining Oscar Robertson and Nikola Jokić — and the first ever to do so without a single turnover.
Haliburton exploded early with 15 first-quarter points, six assists, and five rebounds, becoming the first player since LeBron James to put up such numbers in a playoff quarter. Indiana maintained control throughout the game, weathering Knicks’ runs and stretching their lead with key moments like Pascal Siakam’s clutch corner three in the fourth.
Despite 31 points from Jalen Brunson and a 24-point, 12-rebound effort from Karl-Anthony Towns — who played through a painful knee injury — the Knicks couldn’t recover from 17 turnovers and late-game offensive struggles.
Now up 3-1, the Pacers head back to Madison Square Garden for Game 5 with a chance to close out the series and punch their ticket to the Finals.
