Pacers' Tyrese Haliburton's Game-Winning Buzzer Beater Sparks Crazy Playoff Comeback, Stuns Cavaliers
In the fourth period, the Indiana Pacers trailed by 14 points. Despite facing personnel shortages, the Cleveland Cavaliers maintained their dominance.
And then Indiana managed to come all the way back.
Nevertheless, it seemed like it might not have been sufficient. Trailing by two points with approximately 10 seconds remaining, Tyrese Haliburton missed his second free throw, and the ball bounced away.
However, there was Haliburton, for some reason capitalizing on the counterplay.
The Pacers played the sequence out. Haliburton dribbled to the top of the key.
He sized up his defender, crossed over and stepped back.
Game.
Cleveland didn't get off a desperation heave with just a second remaining, and the Pacers had an insane win.

When Max Strus sank a three-point shot to extend their lead to 117-110 with just 1:08 remaining, it seemed as though the Cavaliers had secured the victory.
Haliburton responded with a swift layup, and then Donovan Mitchell sealed the game by making two free throws, giving Cleveland a 119-112 advantage.
The Pacers received a boost from an Aaron Nesmith follow-up slam, followed by Pascal Siakam making a basket driving to the rim.
When the Cavaliers lost possession due to Andrew Nembhard stealing the ball, it paved the way for Haliburton to be fouled and fall behind by three points.
The NBA's amusingly named "most overrated player" made the first, missed the second and was first to the miss.
That's when Haliburton delivered the biggest shot of his NBA career.
It's the stuff legends are made of for the Pacers.
For the Cavaliers? It was a disaster.
