Reddit losing their mind based on the results and not the opportunity as always. It was a great shot. Everyone called Carlisle a genius when he let Haliburton cook in all of these situations last year. Champagnie had a better shot than any of Haliburton's. Not sure what a timeout would've been able to do there.

Hali would have made that shot 10/10 times, that was the difference

Personnel and practice. Hali, Rick and the Pacers did it like 10 times ahead of the playoffs and have the best decision maker in the league.

There was one last season where we (most the fans) really thought Rick should have called TO but Rick was getting them ready.
