Pacers news: Myles Turner channels LeBron James memory with Tyrese Haliburton game winner

Myles Turner and the Indiana Pacers scored a major victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 1 of their second round series, but the absolute stunner took place in Game 2 that still has everyone shocked. In fact, Turner even compared Tyrese Haliburton’s shot to an old one of LeBron James’ from 2018.

Turner has spent the first 10 years of his NBA career all with the Indiana Pacers, so the shot-blocking, floor-spacing center has seen his share of ups and downs. This one, however, appears to be one of the craziest.

The Pacers pulled off an improbable comeback in Game 2 against the Cavs, overcoming a seven-point deficit with 48 seconds remaining. It’s only the third time that a team overcame a deficit of seven points or more in the final minute of a playoff game, but it is the second time in the last two weeks.

After making one free throw, Tyrese Haliburton was able to secure the offensive rebound on his miss of the second thanks to a tip by Myles Turner. After backing it out and resetting, Haliburton sized up Ty Jerome and drilled a step-back three-pointer to give the Pacers the lead with a little over a second remaining.
