Anthony Edwards just came through yesterday. He was doing some offseason work. In person, for him to move like that, not until you walk up to him, you won't notice how big he is." As if in awe, Mensah also said about Edwards, 'He would be pretty interesting as a big-bodied wide receiver, maybe an H-back. He's a talented athlete, and it was so cool to see him up close. He had the same type of personality that Justin (Jefferson) had." Edwards, 23, was visibly disappointed and made a vow while speaking to the media after the Oklahoma City Thunder defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves 124–94 in Game 5 to advance to the NBA Finals.

Tired of too many ads? go ad free now With the series tied and the tension escalating, Haliburton is channeling his childhood pain into basketball excellence. This isn't just a — it's destiny unfolding right before our eyes on the Finals stage. Tyrese Haliburton turns childhood heartbreak into NBA Finals leadership at just 25 years old The success story of Tyrese Haliburton is as though the episode of a feature film. When Rick Carlisle Mavericks defeated Heat led by LeBron James in the 2011 NBA finals; this was the first real exposure to the game he got since he was only a kid then. It just happens that after practice on Sunday, Tyrese Haliburton still remembered how he became an avid fan to a team leader in the Finals and confused why Dallas was prevailing in the game. The career of a coach has taken quite an experimental turn by Rick Carlisle. The experienced coach, who received his first and the last championship way back in 2011, returned to the Pacers and quickly adapted to the modern basketball game. He has embraced a fast and free-flowing offense in which he has allowed Tyrese Haliburton to call all the plays and defense is still hard. The outcome? The first appearance in the NBA Finals in a quarter of a century with the help of the sharp court vision of the point guard and the flexibility of tactics of the coach Rick Carlisle. It is a close wood series. In the four games played, the score is now at 2-2. In Game 4, Oklahoma City responded with a 111 104 victory as Shai Gilgeous 15 Alexander contributed 35 points (15 over the last 4.38).

The response of Indiana was good ball distribution (21 assists) and perimeter shooting (11-of-36), but they still did not manage themselves in terms of turnovers and free throws differences. Tyrese Haliburton recorded his Finals debut in Game 1 on June 5 as he scored a game winning jumper over SGA with mere seconds left on the clock to seal a 111-110 victory over the Pacers.

He maintained his phenomenal Game 3 and almost achieved a triple-double of 22 points, nine rebounds, and 11 assists to give Pacers a 116-107 win and 2-1 lead in the series. Tonight's game isn't just another Finals night; it's the peak of Halliburton's basketball journey. He's facing the coach who broke his childhood fandom, and now he's taking the spotlight as Rick Carlisle's main guy.
