Tyrese Haliburton reacts to LeBron James' buzzer-beater against Pacers

LeBron James' buzzer-beater to seal the LA Lakers' victory over the Indiana Pacers was one of the wildest moments in the 2024-25 NBA season. With the Pacers leading by 119-118 in the last seconds of the game, James tipped in a miss from Luka Doncic to take a 120-119 win on the road.

Although it was a heartbreaking loss for Tyrese Haliburton and the Pacers, the Pacers guard found a silver lining. It was the first time that Tyrese Haliburton faced a loss in a buzzer-beater, and felt it was fitting that it was none other than LeBron who handed him the walk-off.

"It's my first time ever being walked off in the NBA, so it's only fitting that it was him," Tyrese Haliburton said.

"It's just part of the fun and the back-and-forth in the NBA. [I] enjoy competing against those guys. Yeah, it's a lot of fun."

The Lakers and the Pacers have similar records with a similar standing in their conferences. LA currently holds the fourth seed in the West with a 44-29 record, identical with the Memphis Grizzlies. The Pacers also hold the fourth seed in the East with a 43-30 record.

This season, Tyrese Haliburton is averaging 18.6 points, 3.5 rebounds and 9.2 assists per game. He is shooting 46.9% (a career-low) from the field.
