He started by biting the bottom of her shirt, before placing both hands on the back of her head. All while grimacing, while Tyrese Maxey took charge of extinguishing the last hopes of Tyrese Haliburton and the Pacers in overtime.
The young Sixers star's two free throws converted, Indiana's defeat was confirmed and the local playmaker rushed to the locker room. New evening to forget for him. The Olympic champion this summer with Team USA had to react after two very difficult first evenings away.
His 15 points at 6/18 on shots in Detroit were followed by a horror at Madison Square Garden with zero points on the clock (0/8). In fact, he was much more productive against Philadelphia with his 22 points, to be qualified however with his 8/18 on shots.
At creation? Only 2 assists on the clock, for 3 lost balls. After three games since the start of the season, Tyrese Haliburton has only distributed 11 assists. The reigning best passer in the league distributed as many last season… but every night.
We understand better his unequivocal response when a journalist asks him if he feels himself: “ No. » His statistical line is one thing, his errors which are costly in “money time” another. 20 seconds from the end of regulation time, his team leading by one point, he lacked attention against an Andre Drummond with active hands, who caused the loss of the ball.
Caleb Martin is doing well…
The double All-Star redeemed himself when Tyrese Maxey had just given his team a three-point lead on the free-throw line. Deprived of timeouts, the Pacers needed a miracle. Tyrese Haliburton took care of it with an impossible double-clutch shot to send everyone into overtime.
During the latter, with less than ten seconds to play and still a two-point deficit in the score, the playmaker took advantage of an apparent error of judgment from Caleb Martin. He committed a deliberate foul on him, perhaps thinking that Philadelphia was leading by three points or was not in the penalty box.
Tyrese Haliburton found himself on the line to equalize, but missed the first, before purposely missing the next. “ It's not a good feeling. It's the same thing after the Knicks game. For now, it sucks. God willing, I am sure the sun will rise tomorrow. We have another match tomorrow. 79 more », recalls the leader whose team plays in Orlando next night.
Aware of not having “ failed to conclude “, he adds: “ It sucks and pretending I'm not going to think about it for the rest of the evening probably isn't true. But like I said, there are 79 games left. Tomorrow is another day, we will have another chance to fight. That's the good thing about it. »
