But while the basketball world exploded over the finish, one of the most heartwarming reactions came from Haliburton's longtime girlfriend, Jade Jones.
Jones took to Instagram shortly after the win, sharing the Pacers' game announcement on her Story.
'3 MORE!!!' she captioned the post.
The phrase reflects how close the Pacers are to an NBA title just three wins away. For Jones, who has supported Haliburton throughout his college and NBA journey, it was a simple but emotional way to celebrate the moment.
Haliburton's buzzer-beater was the only time the Pacers led during the entire game. Down 15 points with less than 10 minutes left in the fourth quarter, the team fought back hard.

The Thunder, heavily favored coming into the series, couldn't hold on in the final seconds. With just 0.3 seconds left on the clock, Haliburton hit a long jumper that sealed the comeback victory.

Jones was in Oklahoma City for Game 1, wearing a special custom outfit for the occasion. She showed off her gameday look earlier on Instagram, wearing jeans with 'HALIBURTON' written down the side.
She also shared another one-word post on Instagram before the game started: ''Cers 💙.'
The Pacers now lead the series 1-0 and will try to build on their momentum in Game 2. With Haliburton leading the charge and Jones cheering courtside, Indiana is one step closer to making history.

‘The Strangers Chapter 2' Pays Homage to ‘Halloween II' in First Trailer
Maya (Madelaine Petsch) survived the horrors of The Strangers—but she can't breathe easy yet. The hospital where she's supposed to be recovering is hardly a safe place, as the first trailer for The Strangers – Chapter 2 reveals. Remember when Laurie Strode realized Michael Myers had followed her to Haddonfield Memorial Hospital in Halloween II, intent on finishing what he'd started in the first film? Same vibes here. As slasher fans may recall, Renny Harlin (A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master) filmed all three entries in his Strangers trilogy—a relaunch of the 2008 cult classic about a cabin invasion perpetrated at random by mask-wearing sadists—back-to-back, originally intending to release all three in a single year. That strategy obviously shifted along the way, now that Chapter 2—which stars Petsch along with Gabriel Basso and Ema Horvath—is arriving this fall. There's not yet a date set for Chapter 3. Speaking to Entertainment Weekly back in 2023, Harlin teased that while the first of his Strangers films would hew relatively closely to the original film, the sequels would expand the world of the movies by exploring 'what happens to the victims of this kind of violence and who the perpetrators are of this kind of violence. Where are they coming from and why?' As the above trailer suggests, there really doesn't have to be a 'why'—after all, isn't it scarier that way? The Strangers – Chapter 2 hits theaters September 26.

Agyemang May Be The Answer To USMNT's Search For A Consistent Striker
ARLINGTON, TEXAS - JUNE 22: Patrick Agyemang #24 of the United States celebrates scoring during the ... More second half against Haiti during a 2025 CONCACAF Gold Cup Group D match at AT&T Stadium on June 22, 2025 in Arlington, Texas. (Photo by John Dorton/ISI Photos/USSF/Getty Images) In the U.S. men's national team's seemingly endless search for a No. 9 - aka a striker - the Americans hope they have found one in Patrick Agyemang. It's not just because he has scored five goals in nine appearances since making his international debut in January. It is also the way he performs on the pitch. He is hungry going forward and to score. Agyemang, 24, doesn't wait for the ball to be passed to him at his feet in the penalty area. He tries to make things happen, whether he is using his speed, soccer IQ or physicality. Case in point: In the USA's 2-1 victory over Haiti in its Group D finale in the Concacaf Gold Cup on Sunday, June 22, Agyemang was denied by goalkeeper John Placide in the 24th minute. In soccer, it is sometimes better to have amnesia and forget about the past and worry about the future. In the 75th minute, Agyemang had another opportunity. He latched onto a long feed from left back John Tolkin on the left flank. He raced into the penalty area and pulled Placide out of the net. Instead of ramming the ball into the empty goal, he put just enough momentum on it to roll safely into the lower right corner for what proved to be the game-winner and his second goal of the tournament. 'Me and John, we talked about that pass,' Agyemang told FOX Sports afterwards. 'He played the ball perfectly for me. Once I saw the keeper come on, compose yourself, take your time and around the goalkeeper, and once I got there, just finished.' According to OptaJack, Agyemang has scored five goals in his first nine international appearances, tying him Jozy Altidore for the sixth-fewest games needed to score five times for the USMNT. "Patrick is doing a fantastic job for the team," USMNT head coach Mauricio Pochettino said at the post-game press conference. "All that he gave to the team today and the previous games also, he's a fantastic striker. Still room to improve, but we are so happy with him." CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA - MAY 24: Patrick Agyemang #33 celebrates with Wilfried Zaha #10 of ... More Charlotte FC after Agyemang's second goal of the match against the Columbus Crew at Bank of America Stadium on May 24, 2025 in Charlotte, North Carolina. (Photo by) An intriguing backstory Agyemang (pronounced Aaw-jee-mawn) has a great feel-good backstory, taking a path that not many national team players have followed. The son of Ghanaian parents, he began his college career at a Division III school - Eastern Connecticut State University. Most high-profile players will attend Division I schools right off the bat, climb through a club's academy or go to Europe at a relatively young age. The 6-foot-4, 196-lb. striker recorded 30 goals and added 10 assists in his first two seasons at Eastern Connecticut, while earning D-III All-American honors. He also was named Little East Conference player of the year as a sophomore. Agyemang transferred to the University of Rhode Island (Division I) and connected for 19 goals and 12 assists in his final two seasons as he wound up on the MAC Hermann Award Watch List. He was chosen by Charlotte FC as the 12th overall selection of the 2023 MLS SuperDraft. Not seeing much time with the first team (182 minutes total) as a rookie, Agyemang scored 10 goals in only a dozen matches for Crown Legacy FC (MLS NEXT Pro). With some seasoning and a year of professional soccer under his left, Agyemang enjoyed a breakout sophomore season in 2024, pacing Charlotte FC with 10 goals. Not many MLS teams can say that their top goal-scorer is a U.S. citizen. FORT LAUDERDALE, FLORIDA - JANUARY 18: Patrick Agyemang #7 of United States celebrates after scoring ... More the second goal of his team during an international friendly match between United States and Venezuela at Chase Stadium on January 18, 2025 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. (Photo by) A memorable international debut Agyemang's production caught the eye of Pochettino, who called him into January camp and for a pair of international friendlies against Venezuela and Costa Rica. He acquitted himself well, scoring once in each of those contests. In his debut match against Venezuela on Jan. 18, Agyemang demonstrated how lethal he can be. A pass from Matko Miljevic was deflected into his path on the left flank. 'Once that ball breaks through, I'm like 1 v 1. My best position,' Agyemang said. 'I love it. I see the keeper come on. I step into it. I love getting the shot off my left foot. And I knew I was confident to strike it through." And into the back of the net in the 39th minute. 'I don't think many defenders like running with me, and I take advantage of it," he added. Four days later on Jan. 22, Agyemang came off the bench to give the Americans some 90th-minute insurance in a 2-0 win over Costa Rica in Orlando, Fla. He became the 12th player to score in both of his first two USMNT caps, and the first since Ricardo Pepi in 2021. ORLANDO, FLORIDA - JANUARY 22: Patrick Agyemang #7 of the United States dribbles the ball away from ... More Ryan Bolaños #6 of Costa Rica during the international friendly at Inter&Co Stadium on January 22, 2025 in Orlando, Florida. (Photo by Michael Pimentel/) It's Costa Rica on Sunday Agyemang and his teammates will face the Costa Ricans again, this time in Minneapolis in the Concacaf Gold quarterfinals on Sunday, June 29. This encounter, however, won't just a friendly but in the quarterfinals of the Concacaf Gold Cup. 'The Gold Cup is a tough tournament,' Agyemang told FOX Sports. 'I think with our squad we know our quality, and as long as we put the effort and the heart into it, we let our play show.' Agyemang is far from perfect. He has struggled holding onto the ball and his passing isn't always spot on, which is important for someone with his height who also can be a target payer. So, he still has some work to do. The bottom line, however, for a striker is the top line of the scoreboard, a in putting the ball into the back of the net. The USMNT hasn't had two players who can put the ball away on a consistent basis since the Landon Donovan-Clint Dempsey era of more than a decade ago. They finished their national team careers with 57 goals apiece. Strikers and forwards, especially on the USMNT, can come and go, and run hot and cold, whether it is through injury, form or a coach's preference. Their prime-time years usually run from 22 to 30, although there are exceptions of the age spectrum (see Lionel Messi, who turned 38 on Tuesday, June 24, and Cristiano Ronaldo, 40, as two prime examples). AUSTIN, TEXAS - OCTOBER 12: Ricardo Pepi #9 of the United States celebrates scoring during the ... More second half against Panama at Q2 Stadium on October 12, 2024 in Austin, Texas. (Photo by John Dorton/ISI Photos/USSF/Getty Images) The more, the better, up front As we have learned this year, strikers can live a fragile existence. Here are just five recent examples of their rollercoaster life: * Ricardo Pepi, 22, who has turned into a lethal presence for PSV Eindhoven (17 goals in 28 matches across all competitions. He was an obvious choice to play this summer but was sidelined with a serious knee injury in January. He hasn't played since. * Folarin Balogun, 23, was selected to the Gold Cup roster, but had to be pulled due to an ankle injury. He missed two months with a dislocated shoulder while performing for Monaco in French Ligue 1. * Josh Sargent, 25, who has filled the net for Norwich City in the English Championship (he tallied 15 goals this season), hasn't scored for the national team since a 4-0 win over Cuba in 2019. He didn't do much in the Concacaf Nations League in March and was left off the Gold Cup roster by head coach Mauricio Pochettino. * Haji Wright, 27, who connected for a goal at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, has an Achilles injury and he was sent home during the tournament. His next game will be for Coventry City later this summer. * Damion Downs, 20, also incurred an injury during the tournament and wasn't available as a substitute in the Haiti match. He competes for FC Köln in the Budesliga. Christian Pulisic, who is not playing in the Gold Cup, is a forward and the team's best attacking option. The A.C. Milan standout is much better suited as a player, not a target man, who can run at the opposition and set up teammates for assists or score goals himself. Besides, the more options Pochettino or any national team has up front, the better. To borrow a baseball phrase about pitching, you can never have enough dangerous forwards on your roster. On June 24, 2025, it is difficult to predict whether Agyemang, or any other No. 9 will be on the USMNT roster for next year's World Cup. It likely will come down to whether they are fit and in form, healthy and whether Pochettino feels like he is best suited for the team. So far, so very good for the Charlotte FC forward. If Patrick Agyemang can stay healthy, keep up his production for club and country and improve and hone his skills through the next year, we just might see him on the U.S. roster for the 2026 World Cup.

House of David Season 2 Will Cost You an Extra $9 to Watch on Prime Video This Fall — Here's Why
If you want to see Season 2 of House of David this fall, you'll have to cough up an additional nine bucks. The faith-based drama will initially be exclusive to Wonder Project subscribers — a new subscription offering exclusively available through Amazon. That means, in addition to your Prime Video subscription, you'll have to pay for Wonder Project, which will cost $8.99/month at launch. More from TVLine TVLine's Performer of the Week: Jonathan Roumie House of David Renewed for Season 2 at Amazon Netflix's Building the Band, Featuring the Late Liam Payne, Is The Voice Meets Love Is Blind - Watch Trailer The subscription-within-a-subscription promises 'over 1,000 hours of highly curated movies and TV series that reflect the company's mission: to entertain the world with courageous stories, inspiring hope and restoring faith in things worth believing in' — but if you don't want all of that, don't worry: exclusivity will eventually lapse, and House of David Season 2 will be available to all Prime Video subscribers at a later date. House of David 'tells the story of the ascent of the biblical figure, David (played by Michael Iskander), who eventually becomes the most renowned and celebrated king of Israel,' according the official logline. 'The series follows the once-mighty King Saul as he falls victim to his own pride. At the direction of God, the prophet Samuel anoints an unlikely, outcast teenager as the new king. As Saul loses his power over his kingdom, David finds himself on a journey to discover and fulfill his destiny, navigating love, loss, and violence in the court of the very man he's destined to replace. As one leader falls, another must rise.' Season 2, meanwhile, 'will follow the aftermath of the battle between David and Goliath and David's rise to the throne. As he navigates palace politics, his family's jealousy, and a growing romance, David steps deeper into his destiny and learns what it means to become a great leader.' House of David was renewed for a second season on March 18, two weeks out from the biblical epic's Season 1 finale, which dropped on Thursday, April 3. The Feb. 27 premiere had reportedly garnered 22 million viewers in its first 17 days of release (though Amazon has not defined how it measures a 'viewer'). 'Jon Erwin and Jon Gunn's compelling creative vision has solidified our belief in the series and we are excited to deliver more of the story to our customers,' Amazon MGM Studios head of television Vernon Sanders said in a statement at the time. 'We look forward to a continued journey with Wonder Project as we further expand our slate to encompass faith-based series.' Added Erwin and Gunn: 'We are humbled by the extraordinary reaction this show has earned from the faith audience worldwide. Thanks to them and our partners at Prime Video and Amazon MGM Studios, Wonder Project will bring more of the Bible and this epic saga to a global audience.
