The Indiana Pacers managed to do the impossible when they defeated the Oklahoma City Thunder during Game 1 of the NBA finals. Oklahoma City Thunder were the favorites to win the game, having managed to maintain a lead all throughout the game. But Tyrese Haliburton and the Pacers edged past them to score a victory by a single point, with the game ending in 111-110 in favor of the Pacers. After the game, Tyrese was found sharing a sweet moment with his father, John Haliburton, and fans are very obviously gushing about it.
Tyrese Haliburton shares a post-win moment with his father
Tyrese Haliburton's father, John Haliburton, was at the
Paycom Center for Game 1 of the NBA Finals between the Oklahoma City Thunders and the Indiana Pacers. He was seen sharing a sweet moment with his son, Tyrese after the game, as the father-son duo hugged each other, with John congratulating his son on the victory, which he says was not too unexpected for him.
Tyrese was the Pacers' star player, as his bucket at the very last second, made them win the game against the Thunders. And his father was all too proud of him for making it happen despite all the odds. After an eight-game because of his on-court confrontation with Giannis Antetokounmpo of the Milwaukee Bucks, John had to stay away while his son edged towards one victory after the other, and now he is back by his side, getting to see his son score the winning bucket once more.
Tyrese Haliburton's father had called it before the game even began. John Haliburton made a comment before the game began saying:
“You heard it from me first… tonight is ours.”And looks like he had it right. His prediction came true, even if it was tough going for the most part. But the
Indiana Pacers managed to keep their streak going, currently on a 12-2 run in the Playoffs. They will be gearing up to keep it going as the two teams will meet once more for Game 2, set for June 8.
