Tyrese Haliburton ambled into a dribble handoff from Tony Bradley, and even though he was only going about three-quarters-speed at best on a flat right rear tire, the Pacers’ premier playmaker still merited enough respect with a live dribble to draw a second defender.

Haliburton, who was seen limping after Game 2 but never appeared on the injury report and nearly had a triple-double in the Pacers' Game 3 win, said his leg issue in Game 5 might be related.

It also marked the first time star Indiana Pacers point guard Tyrese Haliburton failed to make a single basket in an entire playoff game.
