INDIANAPOLIS -- After the Indiana Pacers blew a 20-point first-half lead -- and chance for a 3-0 advantage in the Eastern Conference finals -- with their 106-100 loss to the New York Knicks at Gainbridge Fieldhouse on Sunday night, All-NBA guard Tyrese Haliburton blamed himself for his team's struggles on offense in the second half.
"Just trying to get guys in the right positions," Haliburton said when asked why he in particular, and Indiana overall, slowed down from their usual up-tempo style in the second half. "I think down the stretch, a game like this comes down to one or two possessions, so just trying to execute the right way, get guys in the right spots.
