NEW YORK—Tyrese Haliburton scored 26 points and the Indiana Pacers rode one of the most sensational first halves in NBA Game 7 history to a 130–109 victory over the New York Knicks on Sunday, advancing to the Eastern Conference finals for the first time in 10 years.
The No. 6-seeded Pacers set an NBA playoff record by shooting 67.1 percent from the field and advanced to face the top-seeded Boston Celtics in a series that will begin Tuesday in Boston. Indiana last reached the conference finals in 2014, losing to the Miami Heat.
