Tyrese Haliburton
There can only be one Player of the Week in the NBA this week. Tyrese Haliburton of the Indiana Pacers is the name on everyone's lips. Picture this: it's the first game in the NBA championship finals series. There is 0.3 seconds left on the clock and your team is trailing 108-110. You find yourself in possession of the ball with only one thing to do: shoot for 3.
Tyrese Haliburton had what many would consider a once-in-a-career shot to make. He shrugged off the pressure, shot that 3 and scored taking his team to 111-110 as the clock ran out. A hero to fans and team alike, Haliburton literally saved the day.
His stats were impressive throughout the game with 14 points scored, 10 rebounds and 6 assists. He has been one of the biggest stars all season and continues to impress in the highest pressure games of the season.
