On June 6, the first NBA Finals, the Pacers reversed the Thunder 111:110 away and led 1:0 in the series. In this game, the Thunder, who played at home, once took a 15-point lead, but the Pacers stubbornly completed the reversal and took away the victory from the away game.

This moment of Godhead starring "Harry Magic". In the last 12 seconds of the game, the Thunder led by 1 point, Alexander missed the mid-shot of Nemhard in a single, and the Pacers grabbed the rebound. Then, Halliburton received the ball and made a single in the midfield, Wallace made a two-pointer and overtook the score in the last 0.3 seconds. In the last moment, Thunder's air contact was destroyed and the Pacers completed the final kill!

In this game, Halliburton only scored 12 points before completing the final score, which was lower than his average of 18.8 points in the previous playoffs. However, as the saying goes, good steel is used on the blade, the last two-pointer is like a sharp dagger that penetrates straight into the Thunder's heart, "If you don't have a high score, just defeat the enemy."

In detail, Halliburton has quite a few "magic" moments in the playoffs. He has played all the best or tied in all four rounds of the playoffs. In the first round against the Bucks G5, Halliburton helped the team complete a "2+1" and a key breakthrough. In the second round against the Cavaliers G2, he completed a three-point finale at the top of the arc; in the East Finals against the Knicks G1, Halliburton magically tied, helping the team complete a 17-point reversal and finally won in overtime; in the finals, G1, another finale that was enough to be recorded in history: it achieved the largest reversal difference in the finals (15 points) since 1971.

This makes people increasingly believe that this player who is somewhat similar to Harry Potter really has some "magic" on him. It is interesting to note that before the playoffs began, he was also regarded as the most overrated player in the league.

Even at last year's Olympics, Halliburton was the person with the least playing time in the US men's basketball team, with only 26 minutes. Moreover, when he first participated in the draft, he really wanted to go to the Warriors, but the Warriors didn't choose him.

"(Warriors coach) Cole created a demon." US media joked.

Facing the No. 1 Thunder in the regular season, the Pacers "grabbed" a away victory, which gave them the initiative in the series. The Pacers and Halliburton may have a "selected" temperament, but the victory is more due to their own efforts. As Halliburton said in a post-match interview: "We are a tough team... We will never give up until the last moment."
