In the Pacers’ game against Boston, Haliburton achieved the first triple-double of his career with 26 points, 13 assists and 10 rebounds with no turnovers. He shone in the games against the Celtics and the Bucks, and the Pacers now have the opportunity to win their first title. Last year was his first full season and he was an All-Star in Salt Lake City. In February 2022, he was part of a trade in which Domantas Sabonis left the Pacers for California, and he ended up in Indiana. At just 23, the nearly two-meter tall point guard was the third-best rookie of his debut season, 2020-2021, with the Sacramento Kings. Since he began his career in the NBA, the player has maintained a 40% average from the three-point range, while shooting 50% from the field. The NBA Cup has also witnessed a new rising star: Tyrese Haliburton. The Boston Celtics stumbled in the quarterfinals against Indiana, who on Thursday defeated Giannis Antetokounmpo’s Milwaukee Bucks (128-119) in the Eastern Conference semifinal. The first to fall were Nikola Jokić's Denver Nuggets, who did not even make it past the group stage. The favorites were all knocked out of the competition. The final will be played in Las Vegas on Saturday. But when teams are evenly matched, single-game playoffs can lead to surprising results. At the beginning of the competition, no one would have predicted this showdown. The Los Angeles Lakers of star player LeBron James will take on the Indiana Pacers of rising star Tyrese Haliburton in the final of the NBA Cup. The most successful team in the NBA will face off against one that has never won a title.
