Haliburton burned us in Game 5, thats exactly why we’re going right back to him
In Games 2/3/4; Haliburton’s averaging 29.7 points per game, he’s shot over 50% in each of the 3 games, and he played just 28 minutes in Game 3. Haliburton and the the Pacers have been rolling offensively against this juggernaut defense, as long as Haliburton shoots the ball.
In Game 5 the Knicks made the adjustment of picking up Haliburton full court. It threw the Pacers for a loop and we saw them struggle to take care of the basketball. Haliburton took just 9 shots and shot 5/9 from the field, never really impacting the game in that facet.
Now we’ve got the Pacers in a win or go home situation, this is when stars show up. We’re rolling with Haliburton one more time.

The New York Knickerbockers are one game away from the Eastern Conference Championship. I don’t think there were a lot of people that thought the Knicks would be in this position before the season began.
With the emergence of Jalen Brunson as a bonafide Superstar, he’s elevated this team to heights no one expected. The Knicks have been here before, they closed out the series on the road against the Sixers in the first round, and now they’re getting another opportunity tonight.
We’re rolling with the Knicks tonight to cover, and hopefully we get a Game 7 to watch on Sunday.
Go Knicks.
