Tyrese Haliburton triple-double keys Pacers' Game 4 win vs. Knicks

... From the opening tip Tuesday night, Haliburton was masterful. He recorded a historic triple-double -- 32 points, 15 assists and 12 rebounds, without committing a turnover -- to lead the Pacers to a 130-121 victory that gave them a commanding 3-1 lead in the Eastern Conference finals.

Haliburton became the first player in playoff history to put up at least 30 points, 15 assists and 10 rebounds without a turnover since turnovers were first tracked in 1977-78, according to ESPN Research, and in doing so helped the Pacers move to within one win of the NBA Finals....

New York Knicks fire head coach Tom Thibodeau days after being bounced from playoffs

... Thibodeau had led the team for five seasons and brought the Knicks back to prominence after years of struggling near the NBA’s basement. The franchise went to the playoffs in four of his five seasons on the bench, but had high hopes of competing in the NBA Finals this year after finally advancing to the conference finals for the first time in a quarter century....

No good deed . . .

... Thibodeau went 226-174 during his 400 games in charge of the Knicks and won the 2020-21 NBA Coach of the Year award during his first season at the helm.

Known as one of the toughest coaches in the league, Thibodeau helped transform a Knicks franchise that had been seemingly allergic to success through much of the 21st century into a playoff mainstay....
