On Thursday night, Tyrese Haliburton once again delivered a decisive game-winning shot, this time during Game 1 of the NBA Finals against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
The Indiana Pacers standout continues to rise to the occasion in critical postseason moments, with his latest performance elevating his clutch reputation even further.
Postgame, Haliburton playfully suggested that the day’s success could be attributed to one particular factor: his footwear.
“Today’s secret ingredient was these,” Haliburton remarked to the press after the game, gesturing to his new PUMA signature sneakers, the Hali 1, which he wore for the first time that night.

Haliburton switched from Nike to PUMA last autumn, and it appears that the switch has paid off for both parties involved.
With his new partnership, Haliburton introduced his signature shoe on basketball’s biggest stage.
For PUMA, having Haliburton spotlight their brand with a game-winning Finals shot is an advertising dream come true.
