NBA Shooting Legend Reggie Miller's Immediate Reaction to Pacers' Series Win
There are very few players out there, if any, who can contest Hall of Famer Reggie Miller's status as the greatest player to ever don an Indiana Pacers uniform. However, when it's all said and done for him, Tyrese Haliburton might have a thing or two to say about that. On Tuesday, the two-time All-Star led the Pacers to a 114-105 Game 5 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers to secure their spot in the Eastern Conference Finals for the second straight year. Advertisement Indiana took out the No. 1 seed Cavs in five games as they ended the series on Tuesday, 4-1. They will now await the winner of the series between the Boston Celtics and the New York Knicks to determine their opponents for the Eastern Finals. Miller took to social media to share his immediate reaction to Indiana's big win. The three-time All-NBA shooting guard had no words, opting to share a post from a fan containing his old Pacers jersey. The clip also included a message for Haliburton, asking the current Indiana superstar to "bring dis home." Miller clearly approves of the message, which is exactly what Haliburton did on Tuesday night. The 6-foot-5 combo guard went off in Game 5, finishing with a team-high 31 points on 10-of-15 shooting, six rebounds, eight assists, a steal, a block and six triples in 36 minutes of action. Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton (0) celebrates his game-winning three-point basket against the Cleveland Cavaliers.© David Richard-Imagn Images Miller and the rest of the Pacers faithful will now need Haliburton to keep his foot on the gas as they take the next step in this year's playoff run.
