“He had finished warming up and then when he went to stretch felt something in the middle of his hammy, so we had to kind of make a switch on the fly,” Boone said. “Hoping it’s not too serious.”Tim Hill retired the side in order in the ninth as the Yankees avoided getting swept in a series for the first time this season.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton wanted to play well with his father, John, back in Gainbridge Fieldhouse for the first time in two-plus weeks Tuesday night.That wasn’t the only motivation behind the best performance of his career.Haliburton made amends for the mistakes he made in Game 3 by finishing with

four steals and no turnovers in a 130-121 victory over the New York Knicks. He became the first NBA player with at least 30 points, 15 assists, 10 rebounds and no turnovers in a postseason game since turnovers were first tracked in 1977-78.Then he poked some fun at the situation.

“I know people were saying, ‘Free Pops’ and Pops is free, but he was not in jail,” the younger Haliburton said after Indiana took a 3-1 lead. “He has a very beautiful home, very pretty to watch basketball. So he was just fine. I just wanted to win.”

There’s no word yet on whether the father will attend Game 5 in New York when Indiana could clinch its second trip to the NBA Finals.“The thing I’m impressed with about him is his ability to learn from his experiences very quickly is impressive,” Daigneault said. “He had some games in the Denver series that he wasn’t great offensively. He just looks at it in a very intentional way and improves.”

Where some players’ growth can be measured year by year, Williams seemingly takes steps daily.“I just think his carryover and his growth from game to game is exciting,” Daigneault said. “He’s still a young player, as great of a player as he is.”

Williams helped the Thunder overcome a game from a Timberwolves team that did a lot of things right. The Wolves shot 51.2% and made 18 3s in Game 5. Before Monday’s game, teams that shot 50% or better from the floor and made 18 or more 3s were 55-0 in the playoffs.Randle wasn’t responsible for the fireworks. After posting 28 points in Game 1 and 24 points in Game 3, he scored five points on 1-for-7 shooting and had five turnovers in Game 4.
