Tyrese Haliburton scored a game-high 28 points and took over in the pivotal final five minutes of the third quarter as the Indiana Pacers handled the San Antonio Spurs 136-98 on Saturday afternoon to split the NBA Paris Games series.

Tyrese Haliburton had his Stephen Curry moment in Paris. Same arena, no less. Different stakes, different quarter, but same flurry: four 3-point tries, all of them good, in a 2-1/2 minute stretch to end a period in a display that thoroughly disappointed the French fans.

It’s a memory-lane trip for Indiana’s Tyrese Haliburton as well.

WNBA standout Caitlin Clark praised Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton as the 24-year-old was having a standout game against "Wemby" and the Spurs on Saturday. Haliburton had 28 points, three rebounds, four assists, two steals and two blocks on 11-of-17 shooting, including 6-for-9 from three-point range in 28 minutes.

The Indiana Pacers will visit the Detroit Pistons on Thursday at Little Caesars Arena. Tyrese Haliburton and Aaron Nesmith are questionable on the team's injury report. Haliburton is dealing with a left groin strain, while Nesmith has a left ankle sprain.
