Tyrese Haliburton’s clutch bucket in the closing seconds of Game 5 saw the Indiana Pacers oust the Bucks 1190-118 in overtime. The Pacers guard later said it came down to him to take the crucial shot as he whizzed past Milwaukee’s defense for a tough two that saw his side eke out a one-point lead at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse on Wednesday.
Speaking to Taylor Rooks after the game, an elated Haliburton said it was up to him to make the plays and that he was unfortunate it resulted in a win.
“You know what time it is, I gotta make plays. That’s what the team relies on me to do”
