The storms drenched much of southern Oklahoma and northern Texas, flooding and washing out roads and causing hundreds of flights to be canceled or delayed at major airports.
Teams trailing by seven or more in the final 50 seconds of the fourth quarter or overtime in the playoffs are 4-1,702 in the play-by-play era. Haliburton has led the Pacers to three of those wins in the last month.“I think for me the biggest thing is I already have the confidence to take the shot in that moment, but I have the confidence from my group,” Haliburton said. “My group wants me to take those shots, my coaching staff wants me to take those shots, I think our organization wants me to take those shots.

“You love him if he’s on your side when he was playing and you love to hate him if he’s on the other side, and he embraced the back-and-forth with the crowd and everything else. So I don’t know if Haliburton’s got all that. He tried last night, but he did it on a tie game, so I don’t know if that’s the time to do it. But look, I think Indiana fans think he’s the guy. It’s whether the nationwide fans start to look at him that way.”. But his administration claimed to take a
