Tyrese Haliburton returned from a three-game absence with a bang.

Hailburton completed the game-winning four-point play with 3.1 seconds left, lifting the Indiana Pacers n a wild escape from the Milwaukee Bucks, 115-114, to end a three-game skid, Wednesday, March 12.

Down 114-111, the 25-year-old caught the inbound pass from Andrew Nembhard and hit a fading triple over Giannis Antetokounmpo plus a foul. The Bucks had a chance to steal the victory in the next possession, but Antetokounmpo’s last-gasp attempt fell short.

Haliburton finished with 14 points and 10 assists in his first game back after dealing with a hip injury, while Pascal Siakam posted a 25-12-5 statline. 

Brook Lopez scored 23 markers to lead the Bucks while Antetokounmpo ended up with 19 points, 17 rebounds, and seven assists.

Indiana aims for back-to-back in visiting the Philadelphia 76ers (22-42) next while Milwaukee hosts the LA Lakers (40-23) looking to snap out of the skid.
