Wiggins’ move created a sensation on social media.

“Aaron Wiggins just fried Haliburton😭😭,” wrote a fan on X (previously Twitter).

According to another X user, “Haliburton gets smoked by Aaron Wiggins.” “This guy is a bad player who gets lucky breaks.”

Aaron Wiggins shines brighter than Haliburton! 🔥” Richard Jefferson is delivering literary gems on the mic—can’t quit giggling 😂 This game just got far more fun!” I commented on a social media user.

“Aaron Wiggins saw what Andrew Nembhard did to Shai and figured now was the time to mix Tyrese Haliburton in retaliation!” Another person spoke.

Wiggins had a dismal performance in Game 1, scoring only three points on two field goal attempts in nine minutes. However, in Game 2, the Thunder appeared to give him a more prominent role, as he was one of the contest’s major surprises.

Wiggins, a Maryland Terrapins basketball player, scored eight points with two three-pointers and was a plus-17 in Game 2’s first half. Indiana’s defense will constantly focus on Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, but Wiggins’ contributions let the Thunder to function more efficiently on offense. Oklahoma City selected Wiggins in the second round of the 2021 NBA draft, and he concluded Game 2 with 18 points on 6-for-11 shooting, five of which were threes.

Wiggins entered Game 2 of the 2025 NBA Playoffs averaging only 5.9 points in 16 games.
