In big moments, Tyrese Haliburton's unpredictability is a weapon
OKLAHOMA CITY — Tyrese Haliburton hasn't just powered the Indiana Pacers to their first NBA Finals appearance in 25 years. He has inspired a gold rush with his clutch shooting.
By the time the Pacers and the Oklahoma City Thunder returned to Paycom Center for practice Saturday, two days after Haliburton stole Game 1 with a last-second jumper, the NBA's online store was already hawking autographed photographs of the iconic shot for $199.99. Devoted fans could pair that piece of NBA Finals history with a similar item capturing Haliburton's game-tying jumper against the New York Knicks in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals, which checked in at the same price. Thanks to the wonders of capitalism, Haliburton's backbreaking daggers can break the bank, too.
