The Indiana Pacers will now face the OKC Thunder in the NBA Finals. Stars Tyrese Haliburton and Pascal Siakam led from the front in the team's winning effort. Siakam dropped 31 points as Haliburton recorded 21 points and 13 rebounds.
On the other hand, Turner only recorded 11 points in 21 minutes of game time. This was mainly down to the Pacers attacking the perimeter with Obi Toppin, who recorded 18 points in 25 minutes.
Despite his reduced minutes, Turner's impact on the team was undeniable—he posted a +11 net rating while on the court. Selected 11th by the Indiana Pacers in the 2015 NBA draft, the big man is now the longest-tenured player on the roster.
A loyal and dedicated presence over the years, his perseverance was finally rewarded last night.
