Looking back at this game, Halliburton's performance, everyone knows that Halliburton only scored 4 points in the last game due to injury, and was criticized by the outside world. Before this game, Carlisle revealed that he wanted Halliburton to play with an injury, so many people doubt whether Halliburton can play in good shape and will continue to be sluggish? Halliburton delivered a satisfactory answer in this game.

In fact, Halliburton was also very anxious at the beginning and very much hoped to bring a victory to the team. So as soon as he started to attack continuously, Halliburton stood at the free throw line and made 1 free throw line. Because the opponent made a technical foul, everyone hoped that Halliburton would find the feel on the free throw line, but it didn't.

The next scene was Halliburton's continuous shots, missed consecutively, failed to make an open three-pointer, and did not make a breakthrough layup. Everyone was anxious about Halliburton. Finally, at 4 minutes and 45 seconds in the first quarter, Halliburton hit a three-pointer. After Halliburton hit this three-pointer, confidence came. In 7 minutes and 50 seconds in the second quarter, Halliburton hit another 3 three-pointer, and led the team to a 7-0 attack wave.

When the second quarter ended at two minutes and 32 seconds, Halliburton came to a long three-point 100-step swing at 45 degrees on the right. Then Halliburton made another throw shot. Halliburton finally regained his feel. When he came back from the locker room in the third quarter, the Pacers suddenly felt cold and began to make a frantically. Halliburton stood up at 8 minutes and 7 seconds, and forced a breakthrough to pull the ball into the basket, sounding the charge horn for the Pacers. As a result, the Pacers' offense was wave after wave, wave after wave, wave after wave, and won with one go. Halliburton did not play in the fourth quarter, because the score was very big, the victory was already final, so Halliburton rested in advance.

In this game, Pacers Halliburton made 23 minutes into the field, made 5 of 12 shots, and scored 14 points, 1 rebound, 5 assists and 2 steals in the whole game. Fighting with injuries, not to mention that the fourth quarter was not played, it was already very exciting. After the game, he was interviewed by the media on the sidelines. Regarding the team equalizing the score in adversity, Halliburton said: "We just want to protect the home court and don't want to see our opponents celebrate the championship in our territory. When we fight back, many players stood up. This is the overall effort of the team. I am proud of this team."
