On June 8, the G1 Pacers narrowly defeated the Thunder away in the NBA Finals, and Halliburton won the final victory in 0.3 seconds again; famous reporter Marc Spears revealed the Pacers' locker room situation after G1 defeated the Thunder. The whole team was serious and refused to celebrate wildly. Halliburton said: What is the meaning of celebrating? No one expects us to win at all. In the first game of the finals, facing the Thunder's high-pressure defense, the Pacers made up as many as 25 mistakes, but even so, they still resisted tenaciously and completed a big reversal with 15 points behind in the final quarter. With 0.3 seconds left in the game, Halliburton won the finals to defeat the Savior. This was the first time that the Pacers led the Thunder in this game. According to statistics, since 1971, this is the latest team in the finals to take the lead for the first time.

According to famous reporter Marc Spears, although Halliburton fell into crazy scene after the winning goal, about 20 minutes after the game, when the media was allowed to enter the Pacers locker room, the atmosphere was serious and orderly, with no signs of celebration; the Pacers enjoyed the role that was not favored and tried to prove themselves.

Why did the team not celebrate in the locker room after winning the finals G1? Halliburton said in an interview: What is the point of celebrating? Anyway, no one expects us to win this damn game. So what are you excited about? From beginning to end, no one thought we could win any round of the series, so what are we going to be excited about now?

When talking about what he was thinking when he scored the winning goal, Halliburton said: The final kill! If I can use my right hand to finish the finish, I will have the confidence to throw the ball in.

Speaking of the team's state, Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle said: I have experienced too many such things over the years. We just need to live in the present and know what's going on. It's all about maintaining balance while maintaining a high level of aggressiveness.

Halliburton leads the Pacers to open the story of the dark horses creating miracles. Since this year's playoffs, the Pacers have eliminated the Bucks 4-1 in the first round, the Eastern Conference semi-finals eliminated the Cavaliers 4-1, and the Eastern Conference semi-finals eliminated the Knicks 4-2. They are currently leading the Thunder 1-0 in the finals.

Halliburton has played 17 playoff games this year, averaging 35 minutes per game, scoring 18.5 points, 5.9 rebounds, 9.5 assists and 1.3 steals. He stood up at critical moments in four consecutive rounds. In the finals, G1 performed a great moment of 0.3 seconds to defeat the Thunder; so far this season (regular season + playoffs), Halliburton made 13 goals in the last 2 minutes, and it was too crazy to kill his opponents many times.
