Haliburton nets 32 points, Pacers beat Knicks 130-121 to grab 3-1 series lead
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Tyrese Haliburton finished with 32 points, 15 assists and 12 rebounds without a turnover in a superb post-season performance to lead the Indiana Pacers past the New York Knicks 130-121 on Tuesday night for a 3-1 lead in the Eastern Conference finals. With his father, John, back in Gainbridge Fieldhouse, Haliburton became the first player with such a stat line in the post-season since turnovers were first tracked in 1977-78 and he carried the Pacers within a victory of their second trip to the NBA Finals. Nikola Jokic and Oscar Robertson are the only other players to post 30 points, 15 assists and 10 rebounds in a playoff game. Game 5 is Thursday in New York. 'I'll look at that later and reflect on that at a different time. For me, it's just about winning,' Haliburton said. ' I wanted to prove I could respond when my back is against the wall, my team's back is against the wall. I feel like we responded the right way.' Former Toronto Raptor Pascal Siakam added 30 points while Haliburton had four steals in his second career post-season triple-double. Obi Toppin's 3-pointer with 46 seconds left sealed it. Jalen Brunson scored 31 points. Karl-Anthony Towns had 24 points and 12 rebounds, and OG Anunoby finished with 22 points. But the Knicks couldn't rally from another double-digit deficit. It marked the first time in the series the home team won and leaves the Knicks one loss away from getting eliminated for the second straight year by Indiana. 'We've all got to be better. We've got to be better as a team,' Towns said after shaking off a left leg injury with 2:11 to play to finish the game. 'It's unfortunate we couldn't find a way tonight when we found a way in all the other series to do it.' Nearly a dozen former Pacers players, including Jermaine O'Neal and Lance Stephenson, joined Haliburton's father in the heavily gold-clad crowd. So did WWE Hall of Famer Triple H, rappers Rob 49 and 50 Cent and singers John Mellencamp and Jelly Roll. Haliburton also brought New York firefighter Hans Perez, a Pacers fan, to the game and gave him a signed No. 0 jersey. John Haliburton had been forced to watch Indiana's previous eight post-season games from afar after he ran onto the court and confronted Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo following his son's last-second shot to eliminate Milwaukee in the first round. The Pacers allowed him to return for Game 4 and he sat in a suite. Both teams were shooting at a clip of 70% long into the first quarter as the Pacers raced to a 43-35 lead. Haliburton helped Indiana close the half on a 6-0 run to make it 69-64 as he finished the half just two rebounds short of his third career triple-double. 'He was our leader tonight and we had some difficult film stuff yesterday, not fun,' Pacers coach Rick Carlisle said. 'We allowed things to go a different direction than they needed to go in Game 3 and tonight we were determined to turn it back in our direction.' Did they ever. Indiana opened the second half with an even more aggressive style that spurred a 9-2 run and closed the quarter on a 9-4 spurt to extend the margin to 102-91. Siakam scored the final five points of a 9-3 run early in the fourth to give Indiana a 111-96 lead. New York got as close as six three times in the closing minutes but couldn't get any loser. ___ AP NBA:

Definitely a product I will be using regularly This product is even loved by the professionals, with one reviewer writing: 'I'm a hairdresser and have used every make and brand of treatments.

After healthy offseason, Triston Casas is ready to get back into the swing of things for Red Sox
'It's squashed and I had a really great offseason,' he said Tuesday. 'It's probably my best one yet, just in terms of health, scheduling, just rhythm, the routine. It was really great. 'I'm in the best shape that I feel like I've been in. All the numbers in the weight room indicated as well. So hopefully it translates so much easier. But for right now, I'm in a really good spot.' Advertisement Because he played only 63 games, Casas considered playing winter ball. He instead took more swings on his own to catch up. Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up 'This offseason was just a lot about load, trying to get a lot of workload,' Casas said. 'I didn't take a lot of time off after the season, just because I missed so much time. I felt like I missed four months of the season, which is pretty much an offseason.' Casas acknowledged needing to work on his defense. 'A lot of footwork stuff,' he said. 'Playing first base, sometimes I get too caught up on my glovework instead of just letting my body stay in front of the ball and knock it down and just focused on getting outs. 'I feel like sometimes I try to get a little too swifty with the glove.' Swifty? That's a new one even for Casas. Sox add Ottavino The Sox signed righthanded reliever Adam Ottavino to a minor league contract that included an invitation to spring training. The 39-year-old would earn $2 million if he makes the roster. Ottavino also has the right to opt out of the deal if he is not on the major league roster when camp ends. Ottavino, who played at Northeastern, wants to extend what has been a 14-year major league career. His stops include spending the 2021 season with the Red Sox. He led the team with 69 appearances and had a 4.21 ERA. Advertisement 'He took the ball. He was not afraid of the moment. He was a guy with good stuff,' manager Alex Cora said. Ottavino had 60 appearances for the Mets last season with a 4.34 ERA. He averaged 11.3 strikeouts per nine innings, his best mark over a full season since 2019. 'It helps that I've been here before,' Ottavino said. 'I know AC; I know the trainers and a lot of people in the organization … it was kind of a no-brainer.' The Sox added veteran lefthanders Liam Hendriks emerges as the closer, Justin Slaten , Greg Weissert , Garrett Whitlock , and Josh Winckowski are among the righthanded options. 'Overall I feel like I'm a better pitcher [than earlier in his career] but not as young,' Ottavino said. Ottavino has worn No. 0 since 2013. 'For now that's what we're going with,' he said. Yoshida perseveres The Sox would prefer Alex Bregman plays third base and Rafael Devers takes over as the designated hitter. They also have Wilyer Abreu , Jarren Duran , and Ceddanne Rafaela in the outfield with Roman Anthony closing in. Related : Where does that leave Masataka Yoshida , who has three years and $55.8 million remaining on his contract? 'Masa's going to be part of the picture. We just need to get him going,' Cora said. 'Last year he was a DH; this year we need him to play defense.' Advertisement Via a translator, Yoshida said where he plays is out of his control. 'I'll play where they want me to,' he said. Yoshida had offseason surgery on his right shoulder in October and just started a throwing program. 'In terms of hitting, I feel 100 percent,' he said. 'Which is pretty good.' Yoshida was asked if a trade would make sense at this point. 'My job is to give it all my best, whatever my job calls for,' he said. 'If that is to DH or that is to play the outfield, I'm giving it my best. I'm still here on this team.' Marquee matchup Garrett Crochet showed up ready to pitch. He worked two innings and threw 32 pitches on the stadium field. Crochet struck out five of the seven batters he faced. Trevor Story homered over the Faux Monster in the second inning. He struck out swinging in the first inning but saw nine pitches. Chapman hit 100 miles per hour during his inning of work. Hendriks allowed a double by Vaughn Grissom but came back to strike out Bregman. He was 93-94 with his fastball. 'You can see it stuff-wise. Bunch of big boys over there,' Cora said … Abreu missed the workout with an illness. Peter Abraham can be reached at

Illinois botches Terrence Shannon Jr jersey retirement ceremony with hilarious gaffe during unveiling
How about we try that again, Fighting Illini? During a halftime jersey retirement ceremony for University of Illinois great men's basketball player, Terrence Shannon Jr., the unveiling of his retired No. 0 threads went awry at State Farm Center on Saturday. Everything looked great until Shannon's jersey was upside down when he pulled the cord to show everyone in the arena. Illinois apologized after the gaffe led to a viral moment. "Before we get into the substance of the game tonight, obviously, we had a regrettable situation at halftime with the jersey around [Shannon's] celebration," Illinois athletic director Josh Whitman said after the 79-65 loss to Michigan State, per The New York Post. "Obviously, a really regrettable moment. It's a shame that it happened that way. "Of course, I didn't hang the jersey, but I'm ultimately responsible for everything that happens in this building, and ultimately, that means that was on me tonight. We need to make sure we understand that in life, mistakes happen. But there are also certain moments where mistakes can't happen. And tonight, we stole that moment from [Shannon] and that's on us and something that we have apologized to him for, apologized to his mom. We want to make sure that we apologize to our fans and everybody who was excited to be a part of this experience tonight." Shannon, who now plays for the Minnesota Timberwolves after being selected 27th overall in the 2024 NBA Draft, was a crucial to the Fighting Illini reaching the Elite Eight in this past year's NCAA Tournament. He averaged 23 points per game to help his school get that far in the tournament for the first time since 2005. Shannon, who spent his first three years at Texas Tech, also averaged 4.0 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game while shooting 47.5% from the field. His final collegiate season wasn't without some off-court issues, though, as he was arrested in December 2023 and suspended after being charged with sexual assault and rape. An 18-year-old woman accused Shannon of grabbing her and sexually touching her without consent at a bar on Sept. 9, 2023, after the Fighting Illini faced the Kansas Jayhawks in a football game. Shannon was ultimately reinstated after his lawyers challenged the claims. He was eventually found not guilty of rape and sexual assault in Douglas County, Kansas, in June 2024. Shannon expressed his excitement for the jersey retirement, which he said came as a shock when he heard what his alma mater wanted to do after only two seasons. "I was just happy," he said. "I'm grateful to have the opportunity to get my jersey up there." Illinois just has to get it right-side-up in the rafters.
