Haliburton vows to improve after Thunder defense stifles Pacers

  • The Indiana Pacers lost to the Oklahoma City Thunder 123-107 in Game 2 of the NBA Finals on Sunday night in Oklahoma City.

  • Haliburton led the team in scoring by putting up 17 points, contributing 6 assists, and committing 5 turnovers while the team shot 35% overall and he struggled to attack the paint, managing to penetrate on just 9 out of 100 touches.
  • Rick Carlisle emphasized the need for his team to improve their early-game performance and highlighted that everyone on the squad must contribute more, while Haliburton recognized the Thunder's strong defensive capabilities and gave them due credit.
  • With the series tied 1-1, the Pacers will host the critically important Game 3 on Wednesday and must improve early offense and adjust to the Thunder's defense to gain an edge.
