Good morning and welcome to the NBA Daily for May 28th, 2025. Coming up, Zena Keita is back and the Pacers are up 3-1. We're going to talk about it with Fred Katz and Zena and I are going to give our own takes on Pacers Knicks. Guten Morgen, alle. Guten Morgen, Zina. Willkommen zurück. Danke.
Dave DuFour 1:36
So as a person that forgets things a lot, I'm honored by that.
Zena Keita 1:41
I had a really great Sports Sunday, you know, just got to watch the French Open all day. And luckily the Knicks Pacers game that wound up being insane was kind of a late start. So got to watch all the French Open stuff that day. I also want to share some exciting news with everybody. We're excited to welcome the Tennis Podcast. Vielen Dank.
Zena Keita 2:19
Check out the Tennis Podcast wherever you get your podcasts. Probably wherever you're listening to this one, you're going to be able to find that pod. So I'm pumped for that. I love tennis. It's actually one of my favorite sports. So I'm excited to have the Tennis Podcast here at The Athletic. Zena, Pacers are up three games to one. We got the Thunder up three games to one. It's looking like we're going to get a Pacers Thunder Finals, just like we all predicted.
Dave DuFour 2:49
It's gonna be fun.
Zena Keita 2:49
It's gonna be a lot of fun.
Dave DuFour 2:51
It's gonna be amazing basketball.
Zena Keita 2:53
Yeah, there's a lot of people who tend to, you know, they're looking at the NBA and they see these matchups and they're thinking about the cities for some reason. Look, if you're gonna go to these games, I'm assuming that the games are the big draw. But otherwise, if you're watching from home, I mean, I don't understand why it matters, whether it's the Knicks or, you know, some other big city made it to the finals. So, Zena, Tyrese Halliburton hatte ein großartiges Spiel. 32 Punkte, 15 Assists, 12 Rebounds, 4 Steals, keine Turnovers. Er ist der beste Spieler in dieser Serie.

What was the significance of Halliburton's triple-double?

Dave DuFour 3:33
Er ist absolut der beste Spieler auf diesem Flur. Und ich möchte nur einen Sekunden und sagen, danke an die Athleten. Ich möchte unsere, ihr wisst, unsere Kredit für das, weil. The voting came out and the players through the athletic player survey said that Tyrese Halliburton was the most overrated player in the NBA. And I feel as if that was a direct, direct line of juice. um Motivation, was auch immer du es nennen willst, dass Tyrese Palberton nachts trinkt, er trinkt es morgens, er trinkt es vor dem Spiel und er zeigt sich auf dem Platz und spielt phänomenalen Basketball. Er war so, er war so begeistert, obwohl er auf so einem hohen Pace und hohem Tempo spielt. Und das ist so selten zu finden, besonders in diesem Level eines Spiels, wo es die Playoffs sind.
Dave DuFour 4:26
Die Verteidigung ist aufgeräumt, alles ist aufgeräumt, und er hat seine Teamleute immer noch gefunden. Er hat den Ball immer noch frei zwischen seinen Teamleuten erlaubt. Pascal Siakam hat nach dem Spiel gesagt, dass sie spielen, dass es hier keinen Ego-Ball gibt. Es gibt kein solches Ding. Es ist alle teamorientiert. But at the end of the day, it's Tyrese Halliburton that's at the front and at the top and the tip of that team ball. He's the one that's orchestrating all of that. And to have a team perform as well as they did offensively, getting that many points up as quickly as they did from the tip of the game to the final buzzer, Tyrese was behind all of that. And he also, on top of all the offensive things he did, played some really good defense too, made some big defensive plays down the stretch. And so, shout out to Tyrese.
Zena Keita 5:11
Look, I've hit him pretty hard for what I find to be his defensive failures, but the guy made plays defensively in this game and has actually held up pretty well in the playoffs for the most part. Fred Katz, after the break, gets into some of the stats.
