Tyrese Haliburton Takes Control of the Finals

Before he got around to calling his own shot, Tyrese Haliburton did what does best—spray around the touches and the glory to everyone else. He shouted out Obi Toppin for his dunks and energy. He praised Bennedict Mathurin for grinding out free throws. He lauded Myles Turner and Pascal Siakam and feisty fan favorite T.J. McConnell, whom Haliburton dubbed, with a chuckle, “The Great White Hope.”
