INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Tyrese Haliburton limped slowly to the microphone Friday night with a bad ankle, a sore tailbone and a battered body. He sure didn’t look as though he was hurting in the waning moments of Game 3. When Haliburton heard New York Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau calling for a double team, he swung the ball to Andrew Nembhard, who bobbled the pass momentarily before lining up a 31-foot, tiebreaking 3-pointer with 16 seconds to go, giving the...
