Un Haliburton descomunal pone a los Pacers a un triunfo de la final 25 años después

Article arrow_drop_down

Un Tyrese Haliburton descomunal propulsó a los Pacers, que impusieron su ritmo infernal para doblegar a los Knicks (130-121), ampliar su ventaja en la serie (3-1) y acariciar su clasificación para la final de la NBA 25 años después. Fue en 2000 cuando aparecieron por última vez en ese escenario único, pero los Lakers de Shaquille O’Neal les privaron entonces (4-2) de lograr su primer anillo. La estadística dice que en el 96% de los casos el equipo que se adelanta 3-1 acaba ganando la serie. Lo tienen en su mano.

En el partido que todos consideraban clave para el desenlace de la eliminatoria, en un sentido u otro, apareció el mejor Haliburton para desequilibrar el choque. El base de los Pacers desniveló la balanza con un triple-doble histórico: 32 puntos (6/11 t2, 5/12 t3 y 5/6 tl), 12 rebotes, 15 asistencias, 4 robos y 0 pérdidas en 38 minutos.

Una actuación histórica

Fue el tercer jugador en la historia de los playoffs de la NBA tras Oscar Robertson (2 veces) y Nikola Jokic que firma al menos 30 puntos, 10 rebotes y 15 asistencias. Y el primero de la historia que logra un 32+12+15 con 4 robos y cero pérdidas en un partido de la NBA. Además, su brutal puesta en escena, con 20+8+10 antes del descanso (69-64) permitió a los Pacers establecer su récord anotador en un cuarto en playoffs (43-35).

Así logró Haliburton su brutal triple-doble para tumbar a los Knicks

Pero no sólo de Haliburton vivió Indiana, que contó además con la aportación de su gran lugarteniente Pascal Siakam, autor de 17 de sus 30 puntos (8/17 t2, 3/4 t2 y 5/6 tl) en la segunda parte. Además, destacaron Nesmith (16), que jugó tocado tras lesionarse en el tercer partido, y el suplente Mathurin (18).

Brunson y Towns no bastan para los Knicks

Los Knicks sobrevivieron a la segunda falta personal de Karl-Anthony Towns en el minuto cuatro de partido gracias de nuevo a Jalen Brunson, el mejor de su equipo con 31 puntos (7/13 t2, 2/6 t2 y 11/12 tl), 2 rebotes, 5 asistencias y 2 robos. Pero ni su esfuerzo ni la gran segunda parte de Towns (24+12) ni las aportaciones de Anunoby (22 (1/7 t3), Bridges (17 con 4/5 t3) y el suplente Hart (12+11) salvaron a unos Knicks que fueron siempre a remolque.

En el tercer cuarto llegaron a colocarse a cinco puntos (89-84), pero los triples de Haliburton, Shamet y Siakam les descabalgaron del partido al inicio del último acto (111-96, a 9:53). Aún así demostraron su enorme sentido de resiliencia y llegaron a inquietar en el marcador colocándose a seis puntos tras un parcial de 2-10 (115-109) amenazando con su enésima remontada. Pero Haliburton y Siakam lo impidieron. Esta vez no hubo milagro.

Salida en tromba de los Pacers

Los Pacers salieron en tromba y firmaron un primer cuarto primoroso, con un juego velocísimo (17 puntos al contraataque), enchufados desde el triple (6/8, superior ya al 5/25 del tercer partido) y un Haliburton colosal con 15 puntos y un solo fallo (1/2 t2, 3/3 t3 y 4/4 tl). Fue el segundo jugador en la historia de los playoffs desde que la NBA empezó a registrar el minuto a minuto en 1998 que firma al menos un 15+5+5 en un solo cuarto. El otro fue LeBron James.

Siakam (11) y Nesmith (8) se sumaron a la causa pero los Pacers, pese a firmar la mayor anotación de su historia en un cuarto en una final de Conferencia (43), no lograron despegarse de unos Knicks que aguantaron su brutal embestida -pese a la segunda falta de Towns en el minuto 4- gracias a Brunson (13), Bridges (6) y Hart (12), que capearon el temporal (43-35).

Towns mete a los Knicks en el partido

Con Haliburton y Brunson en el banquillo emergió Towns para liderar con 12 puntos un parcial de 11-19 que metió de lleno a los Knicks en la pelea (54-54). Volvieron los dos bases estrella de ambos equipos, pero los Pacers ya no estaban tan finos desde el triple (2/8). Y Anunoby y Brunson aminoraron el segundo tsunami de Haliburton, que se quedó a dos rebotes del triple-doble (20+8+10) antes del descanso (69-64).

En la reanudación Siakam y Turner pusieron la máxima para los Pacers (76-64, a 9:26), pero Towns y Brunson, los de siempre, suturaron la hemorragia para los Knicks (83-77). El partido entró en un cara a cara vertiginoso entre Brunson y Haliburton, que con su quinto triple de la noche (5/11), lideró junto a 5 puntos de Mathurin otro estirón de Indiana al final del tercer acto (102-91).

Máxima ventaja de Indiana y último esfuerzo de NY

Los Knicks pendían de un hilo muy fino y los Pacers lo rompieron al inicio del último cuarto (con Haliburton y Brunson en el banquillo) gracias a los triples de Shamet y Siakam, que pusieron la máxima en el marcador (111-96, a 9:53). Pero un día más los de Nueva York mostraron su carácter indomable y con un parcial de 7-15 comandado por los secundarios Bridges, Anunoby y Hart volvieron a inquietar (120-114, a 2:52).

Pero esta vez no hubo milagro. Los Knicks desperdiciaron su última bala con una falta en ataque de Anunoby y los Pacers, con un tiro libre de Turner, tres de Siakam y un triple de Toppin, abrocharon un triunfo (130-121) que les pone 3-1 en la serie y les deja a una sola victoria de la final de la NBA. En la noche del jueves (2.00 h), quinto partido en el Madison Square Garden.
