NBA Had One Word for Tyrese Haliburton Amid Playoff Success originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The league celebrated Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton for his successful playoff performances in a new video posted to its official X account on Tuesday. “Tyrese Haliburton’s 2025 Postseason: Unforgettable,” reads the post’s caption.

They won 68 games in the regular season with the best point differential in NBA history. They won 40 of those games by 15 points or more, another new record, and they've already won seven playoff games by that same margin (and five of them by 25-plus).

Oklahoma City’s Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Indiana’s Tyrese Haliburton weren't expected to be starring in the leading roles on the NBA Finals stage.
