Unexpected Fate to Haunt Tyrese Haliburton for Another Year as Cleveland Moans Over Back to Back Loss

Tyrese Haliburton turned boos into heartbreak in Cleveland on Tuesday night, delivering a cold-blooded game-winning three-pointer to push the Indiana Pacers to a shocking 120-119 comeback win. The Pacers, now up 2-0 in the series, stole both games on the Cavaliers’ home floor, despite trailing by 20 points in Game 2.

Haliburton, who tweaked his wrist in the first half and played through visible pain, missed a crucial free throw in the final seconds before grabbing his own rebound and sinking the dagger from deep. His clutch shot capped off an 8-0 run in the last minute and spoiled a 48-point masterpiece from Donovan Mitchell, who was left gasping for air as the Cavaliers collapsed late.

But Haliburton’s night might bring some unwanted consequences. After hitting the shot, he appeared to mimic the controversial ‘Big Balls’ celebration—something the NBA previously fined LeBron James $15,000 for. While the Pacers head home with a chance to sweep, Haliburton could be staring down a fine of his own.

Meanwhile, Cleveland’s injury woes continue, with Evan Mobley, Darius Garland, and De’Andre Hunter all sidelined. The fate of their season now rests on a fragile Game 3 in Indiana.
