Tyrese Haliburton hit the game-winner as the Indiana Pacers stunned the Cleveland Cavaliers with a fourth-quarter comeback in Game 2 on Tuesday.

The Pacers trailed by as many as 20 points in the matchup but capped a furious fourth-quarter rally with a 24-foot step-back 3-pointer from Haliburton with a second left that sealed the 120-119 victory. With the win, Indiana took a 2-0 series edge, winning both games in Cleveland.

After the score went final, the Pacers had a post ready to roll to celebrate the win.

"Never down. Never out," the post from the Pacers read.

Haliburton finished his night with 19 points on 7-of-11 shooting. He hit both of his 3-pointers and added nine rebounds and four assists. During both games in Cleveland, Haliburton was hit with "overrated" chants. It was in reference to the Pacers star being voted the league's most overrated player in an anonymous player poll put together by The Athletic.

But he's proven multiple times in the postseason that he's the real deal, and the Pacers are two wins away from the Eastern Conference Finals.

On the Cavaliers' side of things, Donovan Mitchell tried to will his shorthanded Cavaliers to victory. He played 36 minutes and scored 48 points on a whopping 15-of-30 shooting. He also went 17-of-21 from the free throw line.

Game 3 is scheduled for Friday in Indiana.
