The emerging rivalry between the Milwaukee Bucks and Indiana Pacers has evolved into a prominent narrative within the league this season.
So Wednesday’s game between the two teams was not different, as Tyrese Haliburton was determined to prove that Indiana’s previous victories over Milwaukee this season were not a mere coincidence.
Haliburton showcased his skills with an impressive performance, scoring 31 points and providing 12 assists, without committing a turnover. His contribution was instrumental in the Pacers’ remarkable 47-point third quarter, propelling them to a resounding 142-130 victory over the Bucks.
In the early stages of the game, Haliburton faced off against Milwaukee’s Cam Payne and managed to sink a remarkable 3-pointer. What made this even more impressive was Haliburton’s reaction. Not only did he make the difficult shot, but he also drew contact from his defender. In response, he pointed and laughed at Payne, clearly showing the crowd that Payne was no match for him.
“HE HIT IT!”
