Jayson Tatum scored 30 points and came up with two late blocks as the Celtics held off the Indiana Pacers 129-124 on Tuesday night.
The Celtics have now won two straight games after dropping their season opener to the Philadelphia 76ers.
Haliburton scored 22 of his points in the first half, helping the Pacers build a 30-point lead.
But the Celtics chipped away at the deficit in the second half, and took the lead for good with 5:33 remaining in the fourth quarter.
Tatum's two blocks in the final minutes helped seal the victory for the Celtics.
The Celtics will be back in action on Thursday night when they host the Toronto Raptors.
