Tyrese Haliburton expressed that he would “take that fine gladly” for his celebratory dance after hitting the game-winning 3-pointer in the Indiana Pacers’ Game 2 playoff victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers. Although he anticipated penalties for emulating Sam Cassell’s “big-balls” celebration, he only received a warning from the NBA, as the league has not officially announced any fines. Haliburton’s shot, made with 1.1 seconds left, capped a comeback win, and he noted he had been waiting for the right moment to perform his dance, which may not incur penalties this time.
