Ben Simmons, James Harden, and Tyrese Maxey never were pure point guards. Haliburton and Brunson are.

The rivalry between star point guards Tyrese Haliburton and Jalen Brunson has extended from the basketball court to the wrestling ring, and it was Haliburton who came out on top.

Tyrese Haliburton and the Indiana Pacers advanced the the NBA Finals with their 125-108 win over the New York Knicks on Saturday night. They got the victory at home, too, which meant all of their fans got to celebrate one of the biggest wins in the franchise's history.

Those two led the Knicks to 51 wins and the conference finals, but the defense was not good enough, even with Mitchell Robinson.

New York Knicks' guard Jalen Brunson was one of the very best players in the postseason this year, although he and his team simply couldn't get it done against the Indiana Pacers, losing in six games in the Eastern Conference Finals.

The Knicks needed three straight games of greatness. Instead, they got ho-hum in Game 6 from both Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns.
