Indianapolis<\/strong>. \u2014 The Indiana Pacers are just one win away from reaching their first NBA Finals in 25 years, thanks to a memorable performance by Tyrese Haliburton. The point guard signed a spectacular triple-double of 32 points, 10 rebounds and 15 assists to lead the 130-121 victory over the New York Knicks in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With this result, the Pacers take a 3-1 lead in the series, a historically favorable situation: of the 296 times a team has been up 3-1 in a playoff series, 283 have ended in qualification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Haliburton was pure efficiency: he made 11 of 23 field goals (5 of 12 in three-pointers), stole four balls and committed no turnovers. With his performance, he joins an elite group of the ‘playoffs’ as the third player in history to record at least 30 points, 10 rebounds and 15 assists in a game, alongside legends like Oscar Robertson and Nikola Jokic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solid and confident Pacers<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\nAccompanying Haliburton, Pascal Siakam contributed 30 points and 5 rebounds, while Bennedict Mathurin shone from the bench with 20 units. Aaron Nesmith and Myles Turner also contributed in double digits to maintain offensive pressure.\n\nThe Pacers showed composure after the tough loss in Game 3, in which they squandered a 20-point lead. This time, they dominated offensively from the first quarter, reaching up to a 15-point lead in the final period.\n\n\n

Knicks fought, but it wasn’t enough<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\nJalen Brunson led the Knicks with 31 points and Dominican Karl-Anthony Towns added 24 points and 12 rebounds, although he finished the game with discomfort in his left knee. OG Anunoby added 22 units, but the New York team’s 17 turnovers proved costly, with 20 points against.\n\n\n

Next challenge: close the series in New York<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\nThe Pacers will have their first opportunity to seal their spot in the Finals this Thursday at Madison Square Garden. If they advance, they will face the winner between the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Minnesota Timberwolves, a series that OKC leads 3-1.\n\n\n

Indiana dreams big, and Haliburton has already written his name in the franchise’s history books.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
