Haliburton’s Game-Winner Lifts Pacers Over Thunder In Game 1
The talented stretch forward can do it all, and he propelled Indiana’s offense in scoring for Game 1 of the NBA Finals.
Siakam turned in a strong outing on Thursday with a double-double of 19 points and 10 rebounds in a 111-110 victory over Oklahoma City. Tyrese Haliburton hit the game-winning shot with seconds remaining, but “Spicy P” played a critical role in spoiling a near 40-point (38) performance from Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. Siakam recorded three assists and a block on seven-of-15 shooting from the field.
The three-time NBA All-Star and Eastern Conference Finals Most Valuable Player also shared a message with Haliburton after the game.
“Let’s get greedy, man.”
“We didn’t even play well.”
