Tyrese Haliburton

Already the engine powering a historically high-paced Indiana Pacers offense, Tyrese Haliburton found a new gear in the league’s inaugural In-Season Tournament. Tied with less than two minutes remaining in a do-or-die tournament game against the Boston Celtics, Haliburton bides his time out on the perimeter in a halfcourt set, then pulls up for a quick-release three while the defense scrambles to switch. Haliburton’s hoop and the subsequent four-point play free throw gave his team a lead they would not relinquish en route to a December 4, 2023 victory. The 2023 All-Star additionally finished the contest with his first career triple-double.
