After the game, Pacers legend Reggie Miller shared a message on social media to Haliburton and the team for their fight this season.
"I felt the gut punch to Pacer Nation, not only from the loss, but the loss of our fearless leader Tyrese Haliburton . The man upstairs always has a master plan and 'this to shall pass'.
"I'm very grateful of the Pacers TEAM for bringing so much pride, grit and togetherness back to Indiana basketball.. Masterful job on the sideline Coach Rick Carlisle, and let's not forget about all the men and women who work in the Front Offices who sacrifice a lot of their time to make things happen," Miller wrote.
The Pacers were definitely the underdogs of the postseason, and they shocked the world by making it to Game 7 of the NBA Finals. They proved in every series that they had the talent to compete with anybody, and they made it hard for every team they faced.

Haliburton was the key to their success, and he had some amazing moments throughout the postseason that will never be forgotten. He was slowed down late in the Finals series with a right calf strain, but he still decided to play. He played well in Game 6, and in Game 7, he came out hot from the 3-point line.
Unfortunately, Haliburton may have extended his leg too far out, and it looked as if his Achilles popped during the first half of the game. With the way that Haliburton reacted, it didn't look good, and he had to be helped off the floor and into the locker room.
