Former Cyclone Tyrese Haliburton and the Indiana Pacers clinched their tickets into the NBA Eastern Conference Finals on Sunday with a 130-109 win over the New York Knicks.

Haliburton led the team in scoring, collecting 26 points on top of six assists and four rebounds on the way to a dominant win on the road.

He set the tone in the first half, scoring 11-straight points for Indiana at one point to help open things up early.

He let the fans hear it, too.

The Pacers will face off with the Boston Celtics in a seven-game series beginning later this week.
