"Pack y'all up": Tyrese Haliburton silences Ben Stiller after sending Knicks home
Tyrese Haliburton didn't just beat the New York Knicks on the court, he got the last word off it, too. After the Indiana Pacers eliminated New York in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals, Haliburton responded to a pregame jab from Knicks superfan with a quick, sharp tweet that sent fans into a frenzy. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now It started earlier in the day, when a video made the rounds of Haliburton walking into Gainbridge Fieldhouse dressed in all black, a quiet nod to the Knicks pulling a similar move ahead of Game 6 last season. But Stiller wasn't impressed with the fashion statement. He took a shot at the duffel bag Haliburton was carrying. 'Good thing he brought his duffel for the flight to NY,' The jab was clear: if New York won Game 6, the series would shift back to Madison Square Garden for a decisive Game 7. But Haliburton, who tallied 21 points and 13 assists in Indiana's win, made sure that trip never happened. Hours later, after the Pacers eliminated the Knicks from the postseason, Haliburton quote-tweeted Stiller's message with a perfectly timed and sharp clapback that instantly went viral. 'Nah, was to pack y'all up.' One sentence. Six words. No notes. To his credit, Stiller took the L with grace. The actor/director, and lifelong Knicks loyalist, replied soon after: 'Congrats. All the best in OKC.' No drama, just a classy sendoff. Still, it was Haliburton who left with both the win and the internet moment. It's too early to say if this will live on like the legendary Reggie Miller vs. feud from the '90s. But in 2025's online sports world, this was as close as it gets. As Yahoo Sports' Ian Casselberry wrote, 'Check back in 25 or 30 years.' Haliburton's reply, though, hit like a signature Reggie dagger, direct and unforgettable. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The Indiana Pacers will take on the Oklahoma City Thunder in the 2025 NBA Finals, starting Thursday. Oklahoma City is led by Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Chet Holmgren, and Jalen Williams, while Indiana will rely on Tyrese Haliburton, Pascal Siakam, and Myles Turner. This marks the Pacers' first Finals appearance since 2000, and the Thunder's first since 2012.

As per the footage, the players stood in a queue and took turns in aiming at Priyansh Arya, who stood at a distance and had his back facing his teammates. The rain arrived just when the players were about to take the field at the regular start time of 7:30 PM and the ground staff swung into action immediately to cover the centre. While it began with a drizzle, the rain intensified for a while. A second and a more extended period of rain then delayed the proceedings just when it looked like the play would get underway. Despite showers delaying the start of the match by almost two hours, the BCCI informed that no overs were lost when the game resumed at 9:45 PM. Earlier, Punjab Kings captain Iyer won the toss and elected to field, PBKS made just one change to their playing XI as Yuzvendra Chahal, who missed the last game owing to a wrist injury, came back. Mumbai Indians, on the other hand, roped in Reece Topley for his first game of the season as a replacement for injured Richard Gleeson.
