Tyrese Haliburton delivered a historic performance with 32 points, 15 assists, and 12 rebounds without a turnover, leading the Indiana Pacers to a 130-121 victory over the New York Knicks in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals on May 27, 2025. The win gives the Pacers a 3-1 series lead, putting them one victory away from their second NBA Finals appearance. Pascal Siakam added 30 points, and Obi Toppin’s late 3-pointer sealed the game.

Haliburton’s Historic Night

Haliburton’s triple-double was the first in NBA playoff history with at least 30 points, 15 assists, and 10 rebounds with no turnovers, a feat only matched by Nikola Jokić and Oscar Robertson in similar stat lines. His four steals and leadership sparked Indiana’s aggressive play, including a 9-2 run to open the second half and a 9-4 spurt to close the third, extending their lead to 102-91. Jalen Brunson (31 points) and Karl-Anthony Towns (24 points, 12 rebounds) fought for the Knicks but couldn’t overcome the deficit.

One Win from the Finals

With Game 5 set for Thursday in New York, the Pacers are poised to capitalize on their momentum. The home crowd, including former Pacers players and celebrities like Triple H and 50 Cent, fueled the energy at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. Haliburton’s performance, backed by a supportive team and fans, has Indiana on the brink of a historic Finals run.
