NEW YORK (AP) — Tyrese Haliburton scored 26 points and the Indiana Pacers rode one of the most sensational first halves in Game 7 history to a 130-109 victory over the New York Knicks on Sunday night, advancing to the NBA Finals.

The Pacers shot 67.1% from the field, including 71.4% in the first half, the best field goal percentage in a Game 7 in the shot-clock era (since 1954-55).
