[Saba Sports News] Tyrese Haliburton delivered a jaw-dropping moment Tuesday night, sinking a tough, fading three-pointer while drawing a foul to propel the Indiana Pacers to a 115-114 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.
With just 3.9 seconds left and the Pacers trailing 114-111, Indiana executed a perfectly designed inbounds play. Haliburton started on the opposite side of the court, used a screen to get free, and caught the pass in stride. Falling away from the basket, he launched a high-arcing three-pointer—and improbably drained it.
Adding to the drama, Giannis Antetokounmpo made contact on the shot, sending Haliburton to the free-throw line with a chance to complete a four-point play. He calmly knocked down the go-ahead free throw, sealing a stunning win for Indiana.
The Bucks attempted a last-second desperation play, running what resembled a football-style route down the court—something Haliburton himself commented on afterward.
“It’s like a football play,” Haliburton said. “It was great to see it work. The first time we ever ran the play in training camp two years ago, I made the shot the same way. I haven’t got the ball since. I usually hate running the play.”
What made the moment even more special was the presence of Pacers legend Reggie Miller, who was broadcasting the game for TNT. The clutch three-pointer was reminiscent of Miller’s signature shots during his Hall of Fame career, but this time, it was Haliburton creating an unforgettable memory for Pacers fans.
