Tyrese Haliburton dunks on Ben Stiller after Pacers clinch NBA Finals berth with win over Knicks
Paul Pierce breaks down why he sees the current Oklahoma City Thunder team as similar to his 2008 Boston Celtics championship squad, highlighting their strengths, chemistry, and championship potential.
Tyrese Haliburton got the last laugh on Saturday night as he fired back at New York Knicks fan Ben Stiller on social media following Indiana’s Eastern Conference Finals victory.
Haliburton had 21 points, 13 assists and three steals as the Pacers won Game 6, 125-108. Pascal Siakam led Indiana with 31 points and Obi Toppin had 18 points off the bench.

Haliburton and his other Pacers teammates entered the Gainbridge Fieldhouse wearing all black, alluding to having a funeral for the Knicks and the series. He carried a black duffel bag with him as he walked through the arena’s corridor. Stiller had some words on X.
"Good thing he brought his duffel for the flight to NY," he wrote.
After the game, Haliburton fired back.
"Nah, was to pack y’all up," Haliburton wrote.
It will be the first time the Pacers will compete in the NBA Finals since 2000, when the Reggie Miller and Rik Smits-led team ran into the Los Angeles Lakers. The franchise has never won an NBA championship, but had three American Basketball Association titles before the merger.
