Haliburton did not play well in Game 5, finishing with just eight points, six assists and two rebounds. His combined total for those stats was the second-lowest since the Pacers lost Game 3 to the Cavs in the conference semifinals. He was not aggressive in moving around the court or creating shots for his teammates.

Game 4 was a thriller with the Pacers winning, 130-121, behind a 32-point, 15-assists, and 12-rebound triple-double via Tyrese Haliburton and 30 points from Pascal Siakam. Jalen Brunson scored 31 points for the Knicks and Karl-Anthony Towns, plus OG Anunoby combined for 46 points on 15-of-31 from the field.
