During the first round against the Bucks, the Pacers relied above all on a fiery collective (six players averaging more than 10 points) to qualify in six matches. In the conference semi-final against the Knicks, however, they had to pray that Tyrese Haliburton regain shooting and aggression as quickly as possible, in order to hope to complete an additional round.
We cannot say that Game 1 reassured the most skeptical, “Rese” finishing it with only 6 points in 36 minutes (2/6 shooting). Only further reinforcing this feeling of pressure which tirelessly settled on his shoulders for the rest of the series…
« [Je dois] just go to the circle, be aggressive, go back to who I am » had he targeted as areas of personal progress in terms of scoring, after his first seven matches completed at an average of 14.6 points (and barely 43% shooting, including 31% at 3-points).

As a good All-Star, Tyrese Haliburton therefore endeavored to match actions to words with, in Game 2 (defeat) then in Game 3 (victory), respectively 34 points (at 11/19 shooting, including 7/11 at 3-points) then 35 points (at 14/26 shooting, including 6/16 at 3-points).

« He was huge, super aggressive and it opens up the game for everyone, but he’s already done that all season, so it’s not very surprising for us ” confirmed Andrew Nembhard, author of the 3-point victory in the final seconds. “ The guys have good games as well as bad ones, so we’re never really worried when he has a bad one.. »
Certainly diminished by his ankle, because he fell badly in the fourth quarter of this Game 3, Tyrese Haliburton has every interest in continuing his momentum in the next matches, since Indiana remains led (1-2) in the series. Game 4 this Sunday afternoon will therefore once again be decisive and, as New York is particularly handicapped, there is hope in the Indy camp.
