It was one of those nights where the Pelicans couldn’t force their opponent to deviate from their game plan.
Not in the slightest!
New Orleans lost by a final score of 129-122 to the Pacers in Indiana, losing their second straight contest and falling to 5-5 in the standings.
Tyrese Haliburton, who finished with 20 points, 13 assists and six 3-pointers, had zero problems in breaking down his man, splitting pick-and-rolls, basically, doing anything that he damn well pleased. We even witnessed him forgo several layups or floaters in mild traffic because he smartly opted to hit teammates sitting wide open.
