With this new CBA, how has OKC shown the blueprint for building a successful young team on the cusp of winning a championship? The Knicks fell to the Pacers in devastating fashion after losing a hefty lead late in the game, with Tyrese Haliburton hitting a game-tying shot at the end of regulation. How do the Knicks bounce back to even up the series at home ? What has Tyrese Haliburton shown the world this postseason?
