The NBA Playoffs 2025 undoubtedly belong to Indiana Pacers’ star Tyrese Haliburton. The Pacers’ point guard rose to the prominence of a superstar as he guided the team to their first NBA Finals appearance in 25 years. Haliburton continued his magic as the team clashed against the OKC Thunder in Game 1 of the 2025 NBA Finals on Thursday, June 5.

The two-time NBA All-Star pulled off a dramatic game-winning jumper in the 0.3 seconds to push Indiana to a comeback. The Pacers registered a 111-110 win, and began their finals campaign on a high. Haliburton finished with 14 points, 10 rebounds, and six assists. However, his performance wasn’t the only reason he made it to headlines during the game night. The former Iowa alum laced up his first signature shoe, Puma Hali 1, as he and the Pacers took on the Thunder.
