Тайрэс Халибуртоны гайхамшигт тоглолт
Индианаполис хотод Тайрэс Халибуртон 2025 оны плэйоффын хамгийн шилдэг тоглолтоо үзүүлж, аав нь зочлон ирсэн шөнө сагсан бөмбөгийн түүхэнд үлдэх гайхалтай амжилтаа үзүүллээ. Индиана Пэйсерс баг Халибуртоны аав Жон Халибуртоныг тоглолт үзэхийг хориглосон түр хоригийг цуцлан, түүний хүү 32 оноо, 12 самбараас бөмбөг авалт, 15 дамжуулалт хийж, алдаа гаргалгүй тоглож, Нью Йорк Никсийг 130-121-ийн харьцаатайгаар ялахад том хувь нэмэр орууллаа.
Пэйсерс баг цувралыг 3-1 харьцаатайгаар тэргүүлж байгаа бөгөөд энэ Пүрэв гарагт Мэдисон Сквер Гарденд Никсийг ялснаар хоёр дахь удаагаа NBA-ийн финалд шалгарах боломжтой. Халибуртон аавынхаа тоглолт үзэхийг зөвшөөрсөнд маш баяртай байсан ч, тэрээр энэ удаад сэтгэл хөдлөлдөө автахгүй байхыг хичээсэн байна.
Халибуртоны энэхүү амжилт нь плэйоффын түүхэнд 15 дамжуулалт, алдаа гаргалгүйгээр хамгийн олон оноо авсан тоглолт байлаа. Түүний 32 оноо нь энэ плэйоффын хамгийн өндөр оноо бөгөөд түүхэнд Оскар Робертсон, Никола Йокич нарын хамт 30-аас дээш оноо, 10-аас дээш самбараас бөмбөг авалт, 15-аас дээш дамжуулалт хийсэн гурав дахь тоглогч боллоо. Гэхдээ Халибуртоны хувьд 3 онооны шидэлтүүд болон алдаа гаргаагүй байдал нь түүнийг өөр түвшинд хүргэж байна.
Тайрэсийн аав Жон Халибуртон Милуоки Бакс багтай эхний шатны 5-р тоглолтод Жианнис Антетокумпог тоглолтын дараа өдөөн хатгасан үйлдэл хийсний улмаас тоглолт үзэхийг хориглосон байжээ. Халибуртон аавынхаа тоглолт үзэхийг зөвшөөрсөнд баяртай байсан бөгөөд багийнхан нь ч энэ асуудалд дэмжлэг үзүүлсэн юм. Индиана Пэйсерс багийн довтолгоо гуравдугаар тоглолтын сүүлд зогссон ч, багийнхан алдаагаа засч, амжилттай тоглохоор хичээж байна.

Pacers’ Tyrese Haliburton dazzles with triple-double in Game 4 win over Knicks
Haliburton is the third player in NBA history to have more than 30 points, 10 rebounds and 15 assists in a playoff game.
Мэдээний дэлгэрэнгүй:
INDIANAPOLIS — Tyrese Haliburton’s best game of the 2025 playoffs, one of the best of his career, one of the best in NBA postseason history, just happened to come on the night his dad was back in the building.
The Pacers lifted their temporary ban on Haliburton’s father, John, attending games, and his son dominated with a 32-point triple-double in the Pacers’ 130-121 win over the New York Knicks in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference finals.
The Pacers lead the series, 3-1, and can reach their second NBA Finals by beating the Knicks on Thursday at Madison Square Garden.
“Hell yeah (having John in the building had something to do with it),” Haliburton told TNT in his postgame interview on the court, though he later pumped the brakes on the perceived “emotions” of having his dad in attendance.
Haliburton posted his second-career postseason triple-double with 12 rebounds (a playoff career high), 15 assists and an equally impressive zero turnovers – no one had ever scored that many points with at least 15 assists and no turnovers in NBA playoff history. He also added five 3s (on 12 attempts), only making his already unique-to-history performance stand out even more.
“I didn’t know that – I feel like we’re making up stats,” Haliburton said.
Haliburton’s 32 points were the most he’s scored during the Pacers’ magical postseason run, and were his second-highest playoff total (he dropped 35 against the Knicks last year). He is the third player in NBA history to have more than 30 points, 10 rebounds and 15 assists in a playoff game (Oscar Robertson, Nikola Jokić), but Haliburton’s 3s and zero turnovers set him apart.
Haliburton was already up to 20 points, 8 rebounds and 10 assists, with no turnovers, in the first half, which ended with the Pacers ahead 69-64.
“I know Ty did some historic stat stuff tonight,” Indiana coach Rick Carlisle said. “That’s great, but. It’s tough talking about stats when it’s such a team thing right now. So, happy for him. It’ll get celebrated on all the networks, stuff like that. But in our world right now, it’s day seven of 13, and tomorrow’s day eight. And we gotta just keep our eye on the ball and keep focusing on each day.”
Pascal Siakam added 30 points (including 11 in the fourth quarter), Bennedict Mathurin scored 20 off the bench Aaron Nesmith, playing on a sprained ankle, contributed 16 points for the Pacers. Jalen Brunson scored 29 points for the Knicks, and Karl-Anthony Towns scored 24 points, ending the game hobbled after a hard fall late in the final quarter.
New York trailed by 13 with 5:38 left in the game and tried to continue the series’ streak of someone — Knicks or Pacers — making a furious fourth quarter comeback. The closest the Knicks got was six points. Obi Toppin’s 3-ball with 46.3 seconds left put the Pacers ahead by 10 and seemed to end the Knicks’ rally.
So you may say this was the first game of this wild series without any real shockers or surprises, and you’d be wrong. In the second half, Pacers entertainment staff handed the microphone to former Indianapolis Colts punter and ESPN personality Pat McAfee, who introduced Knicks fans Spike Lee, Ben Stiller, and Timothée Chalamet – all of them in attendance in Indianapolis.
The crowd booed the New York-Hollywood stars lustily, and then McAfee said, “Let’s send those (expletives) back to New York with their ears bleeding.”
OK, then.
Almost as an aside, John Haliburton attended his first Pacers game since Game 5 of the first round against the Milwaukee Bucks, when he appeared to taunt Giannis Antetokounmpo on the court after Indiana closed out the series with an overtime win.
The elder Haliburton, who is 68, apologized for the incident, but Indiana’s front office temporarily banned him from attending Pacers games at home or on the road. Team management lifted that ban before Tuesday’s game.
“I’m glad he’s back,” Carlisle said before the game. “A father should be able to watch his son play basketball. We welcome him back.”
Haliburton sat in a suite behind the basket closest to the Pacers’ bench, instead of in his usual courtside seat. Wearing a light blue Pacers hoodie with white pants, he stood for portions of the game while slapping hands with all the fans he could reach.
During his postgame news conference with reporters, Tyrese Haliburton said that during the eight games his father missed, John Haliburton was “fine.”
“He’s at the house watching the game in a beautiful home, or he finds his way into a sports bar with a bunch of Pacer fans,” Tyrese said. “My dad is doing just fine. There was obviously a lot of commentary around him, especially right after (the incident with Giannis), which I think some was warranted, some went a little too far.
“I don’t think there was any emotion to (his return),” Tyrese continued. “I just wanted to put on a good performance.”
The Pacers’ offense broke down in the fourth quarter of Game 3 and Haliburton took a lot of the blame for it. Carlisle said there was a tough, unpleasant film session on Monday during which the team found and corrected some mistakes. Haliburton said he and his teammates wanted to keep pushing the ball on offense instead of allowing the game to slow down, something that would benefit the Knicks.
“I just want to be able to prove that, you know, I can respond when my back’s against the wall, when our team’s back is against the wall,” Haliburton said.
Haliburton proved his point, and, emotional or not, he did it with his father watching – something he said was important growing up to him because his father was a referee and worked most weekends, meaning he’d miss a lot of Tyrese’s games when he was a child. When John could be there, Tyrese said, he always wanted to play well.
“I think that I love a father-son relationship,” said Pacers center Myles Turner, who contributed 13 points and three blocks. “I grew up with my father, you know, in my house. It’s a big part of my life and it’s a very special moment, you know, to be able to reach conference finals and potentially move on. So I’m glad that a father can see his son grow.”
John Haliburton saw that, and so much more, Tuesday night. His step is one more win from the finals.
Tyrese Haliburton is unique in every single way as a playmaker. Because of that, so are his Indiana Pacers.
