Pacers' Tyrese Haliburton admits to seeing NBA Twitter memes
Tyrese Haliburton is a perfect 4-of-4 from the field on go-ahead or game-tying shots in the final five seconds of the fourth quarter and overtime this postseason, leading the Pacers to clutch comeback wins over the Milwaukee Bucks, Cleveland Cavaliers, New York Knicks, and the Oklahoma City Thunder.
