Tyrese Haliburton had 19 points (7-of-11 FGs), nine rebounds, four assists, one block and two three-pointers in the Pacers’ 120-119 victory over the Cavaliers in Game 2 on Tuesday.
Tyrese Haliburton amassed 22 points (9-of-15 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), three rebounds, 13 assists, one steal, three blocks and two three-pointers in 36 minutes in a Game 1 win over the Cavaliers on Sunday.
Due to injury, Haliburton only played in two of the four regular-season meetings with the Cavaliers, recording modest averages. There were no such concerns in Game 1, with the Pacers’ point guard shooting 66.7 percent from the field and committing just one turnover. When Haliburton is as efficient as he was on Sunday, Indiana is incredibly tough to beat. And the Pacers have the fourth-best record in the NBA since January 1. Game 2 is on Tuesday night.
Tyrese Haliburton came up clutch, tallying 26 points (10-of-22 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), five rebounds, nine assists, three steals, three blocks and two three-pointers in the Game 5 win over the Bucks.
Haliburton started slow as a scorer but found his rhythm late in the game for the Pacers. He repeatedly drove past Bucks defenders and found production at the rim, and at one point scored nine consecutive points for Indiana between the fourth quarter and overtime before later delivering the game-winning layup. Haliburton remained productive as a facilitator along the way and will look to keep up the production in the second round against the Cavaliers.
Tyrese Haliburton finished Sunday’s Game 4 win over the Bucks with 17 points (6-of-11 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), eight rebounds, 15 assists, one steal and two three-pointers in 34 minutes.
After dropping Game 3 on Friday, Haliburton and the Pacers rebounded impressively on Sunday. While Milwaukee’s loss of Damian Lillard (leg) in the first half undoubtedly helped the visitors, Indiana’s ball and player movement were significantly improved. Indiana assisted on 36 of its 50 made field goals, and Haliburton made some personal history. He’s the first Pacer since Paul George in 2014 to record a double-double in each of the first four games of a series. Haliburton and the Pacers will look to close out the series on Tuesday.
