Tyrese Haliburton returned to the Accor Arena and put on a show, drawing comparisons to Team USA teammate Steph Curry's Olympic final performance four months ago

Tyrese Haliburton had his Stephen Curry moment in Paris. Same arena, no less. Different stakes, different quarter, but same flurry: four 3-point tries, all of them good, in a 2-1/2 minute stretch to end a period in a display that thoroughly disappointed the French fans.

Tyrese Haliburton scored a game-high 28 points and took over in the pivotal final five minutes of the third quarter as the Indiana Pacers handled the San Antonio Spurs 136-98 on Saturday afternoon to split the NBA Paris Games series.

Since January 1, the Indiana Pacers have been one of the hottest teams in the NBA. Up until their 140-110 beatdown at the hands of the San Antonio Spurs on Thursday, the Pacers were 8-1 in 2025 and had bounced back from their slow start.
