Tyrese Haliburton shot 7-of-15 from the field and 4-of-4 from the foul line in Sunday’s Game 3 loss to the Knicks, finishing with 20 points, four rebounds, six assists, three steals and two three-pointers.
Haliburton and the Pacers were rolling during the first half, building up a lead that reached 20 points late in the second quarter. However, Indiana got a bit stagnant offensively, and New York’s 10-3 run to end the half kept the door cracked open. New York would grab control of the action during the fourth, as Karl-Anthony Towns scored 20 points, and Haliburton struggled to get his teammates in positions where they could be at their best. While his final stat line was solid, Tyrese can be much better than he was in Game 3. Indiana still leads the series two games to one, with Game 4 set for Tuesday.
