Watch: Pacers' Tyrese Haliburton does it all early in Game 6
Tyrese Haliburton looked for his own shot in Game 6. When that shot didn’t fall, he looked for his own rebound.
Haliburton did it all in the first half as his Indiana Pacers tried to close out the Milwaukee Bucks in an Eastern Conference first-round playoff series. He scored 15 points, collected five rebounds and gave out four assists in the first half as Indiana took a 59-47 halftime lead.
While Milwaukee had successfully gotten the ball out of Haliburton’s hands earlier in the series, in Game 6 he forced the issue. Haliburton exploited the Bucks’ occasionally lax perimeter defense and headed to the rim regularly, even with defenders in the way.
With Damian Lillard back, Haliburton needs to match the star's scoring. The rebounding is an added bonus.
