Tyrese Haliburton had a revenge of the Haliburton kind of night as he was just on board away from a triple-double as the Pacers took game 3 of the NBA Finals from the OKC Thunder. Pacers Take 2-1 Lead in NBA Finals with Home Win Over Thunder.

Indiana outscored Oklahoma City 32-18 in the fourth quarter to secure a 116-107 victory, reclaiming the series lead in front of a raucous home crowd.

“The Knicks gotta be the stupidest damn people in the world.”— Charles Barkley. Barkley made those comments before Game 3 of the NBA Finals. The Knicks, who fired their head coach Tom Thibodeau after making it to the Eastern Conference Finals for the first time in 25 years, appear to have no idea who was going to replace Thibs. An organizational mess...this is what happens when you don't have a plan in business.

Check out the list of coaches that they are not allowed to interview because all these teams turned them down:

Billy Donovan, Chicago Bulls

Jason Kidd, Dallas Mavericks

Ime Udoka, Houston Rockets

Chris Finch, Minnesota Timberwolves

Quin Snyder, Atlanta Hawks

At this point, it's safe to say that SGA is making it look too easy in the NBA Finals, at least from a scoring perspective. He has scored 72 points in his first 2 games of his NBA Finals Career.

The OKC Thunder took complete control of game 2 and never looked back en route to a 123-107 win. With the win, the Thunder tie the series at 1-1. As for all the hype around Tyrese Haliburton, well, once again, he went missing in action for a large portion of the game tonight.

If the Indiana Pacers really want to put an NBA Finals ring on their fingers, they are going to have to figure out how to free Tyrese Haliburton in the first half of Game 3 on Wednesday night.

PACERS SHOCK THUNDER BUT WE SHOULD NOT BE SURPRISED | Game 1 NBA FINALS

Why the New York Knicks Just Made a Mistake Firing Tom Thibodeau

Overreacting to an NBA team's season ending has turned into a cottage industry both for fans and front offices.

Just from an economic impact perspective, the New York Knicks made their first Eastern Conference Finals appearance in decades, temporarily renamed streets across New York City with players' names, and sold what can best be described as a ton of merchandise. However, just days after their surprising trip to the Eastern Conference Finals ended, Knicks President Leon Rose decided to throw all of that progress out the door.
The New York Knicks’ decision to fire head coach Tom Thibodeau has sent shockwaves through the NBA and left many fans and analysts questioning the logic behind the move. After all, Thibodeau just led the team to its first Eastern Conference Finals appearance in 25 years, revitalizing a franchise long mired in mediocrity.
