Tyrese Haliburton's Unbelievable Last-Moment Victory for the Pacers
A recap of how Tyrese Haliburton's incredible four-point play stunned the Bucks and has playoff implications.
Every encounter between the Milwaukee Bucks and Indiana Pacers seems to generate high drama, and recent games have proven this sentiment true. On Tuesday, with just 6.1 seconds on the clock and the Bucks ahead 112-110, Andrew Nembhard was fouled while attempting to tie the game but only managed to hit one out of two free throws. This gave the Bucks a slight advantage.
Damian Lillard then pushed the Bucks lead to three points with two successful free throws. However, chaos ensued in the final seconds.

With 3.2 seconds left, Indiana lined up for a unique inbounds play, executed with precision designed to free Tyrese Haliburton. On receiving the pass, he launched a 3-pointer just as Giannis Antetokounmpo fouled him amidst his shot. Haliburton completed the play, crushing the Bucks’ hopes and securing a rare four-point play that gave the Pacers a miraculous lead and ultimately won them the game.
This victory’s implications extend far beyond the scoreboard, as both Indiana and Milwaukee now stand with mirrored records of 36-28, directly influencing playoff positioning. This moment could very well lead to home-court advantages later on.
