**Haliburton’s Historic Triple-Double Leads Pacers to Commanding 3-1 Series Lead Over Knicks**

INDIANAPOLIS – Tyrese Haliburton delivered a performance for the ages Tuesday night, notching a triple-double with 32 points, 12 rebounds, and 15 assists, leading the Indiana Pacers to a 130-121 victory over the New York Knicks. The win gives Indiana a commanding 3-1 lead in the Eastern Conference Semifinals. Haliburton’s feat makes him only the third player in NBA playoff history to record at least 30 points, 10 rebounds, and 15 assists in a game, joining legends Oscar Robertson and Nikola Jokić. More remarkably, Haliburton achieved this with zero turnovers, a feat unmatched by his predecessors.

Pascal Siakam chipped in with 30 points of his own. Indiana’s offense was humming, shooting over 50% from the field and 40% from three-point range. Aaron Nesmith’s return from an ankle sprain provided a crucial boost, contributing 16 points and tenacious defense on Knicks star Jalen Brunson. Bennedict Mathurin added 20 points off the bench.

While the Knicks saw strong offensive performances from Jalen Brunson (31 points), Karl-Anthony Towns (24 points), and OG Anunoby (22 points), their 17 turnovers proved costly, fueling the Pacers’ high-powered offense. The Knicks’ defense struggled to contain Indiana, allowing five players to score in double figures.

With a potential series-clinching Game 5 looming, the series now shifts back to Madison Square Garden. The Knicks, who are 3-5 at home this post season, are now in a desperate situation and need to find an edge to extend their season and force a Game 6 back in Indiana.
