With Indiana leading 119–114 with less than a minute in regulation, Haliburton delivered a clutch dagger of a step back three-pointer over Bucks center Brook Lopez to salt away a huge victory over Milwaukee in Las Vegas.

Haliburton followed his monster shot with a well-timed troll of Bucks star Damian Lillard’s “Dame Time” celebration, coupled with the 23-year-old telling the crowd, “I know what time it is” before yelling in celebration.

The clutch shot not only secured the Pacers’s huge victory but also gave NBA fans another highlight to be in awe over during another strong night from Haliburton.

After sealing an IST quarterfinal win with some amazing heroics, Haliburton delivered a worthy encore on Thursday night with 27 points, 15 assists, seven rebounds and zero turnovers.
