Pacers' Haliburton excited to face 'idol' LeBron, Lakers for NBA Cup

LAS VEGAS - On their march to the NBA's in-season tournament's title game, the Indiana Pacers have knocked off the Cleveland Cavaliers, Philadelphia 76ers, Boston Celtics and Milwaukee Bucks - the top four seeds in the Eastern Conference playoffs last season.

Now, Indiana finds itself up against the Los Angeles Lakers and LeBron James in Saturday's title game, with the right to be the first team to lift the NBA Cup on the line - a situation Tyrese Haliburton says feels like a storybook ending to Indiana's coming out party over the past few months.
