Tyrese Haliburton

Gainbridge Fieldhouse was one long, relieved exhale. With Indiana teetering on the cusp of dropping a critical Game 5 to the Bucks, Tyrese Haliburton refused to let this series return to Milwaukee. Down 118-111 and just 40 seconds left in overtime, the All-Star point guard reached deep into the well and led his team to a surge of brilliance— an 8-0 blitz in a legacy defining Moment. Haliburton capped off the comeback, knifing past two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo for an impressive layup that kissed the glass and dropped with 1.1 seconds left. 119-118. Bedlam in Indiana. Thanks to Haliburton's heroics, Indiana escapes with a pulse-pounding victory and, with momentum now crackling like electricity, sets its sights on the top-seeded Cleveland Cavaliers in the second round.
