Haliburton Buries Logo Three as Pacers Tie Celtics at Halftime
Indiana, Boston Remain Even Through First 24 Minutes
Pacers Stand Tall Against Eastern Conference Favorites
Indianapolis, IN - Tyrese Haliburton's emphatic buzzer-beating logo three-pointer sent the Indiana Pacers into halftime tied with the Boston Celtics, 66-66, in their NBA Eastern Conference Finals matchup.
The Pacers, who upset the third-seeded Knicks in the previous round, have continued their impressive playoff run with a resilient performance against the Celtics, the top seed in the East.
Despite trailing by as many as eight points in the first half, Indiana never let the Celtics pull away, with Haliburton leading the charge with 18 points and six assists.
The Celtics, who are looking to reach the NBA Finals for the second consecutive year, have struggled to shake the Pacers' tenacious defense, with Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown combining for just 25 points on 10-of-30 shooting.
