At the beginning of the first quarter, the two teams were in a stalemate, and the point difference was not widened. But in the second quarter, the Timberwolves were in full swing, bombarding 41 attack waves in a single quarter and taking the initiative on the field in one fell swoop. Led by Halliburton and Jaylen Smith in the third quarter, the Pacers began to fight back and narrow the score. Entering the crucial fourth quarter, the Timberwolves did not relent, resisted the Pacers' counterattack, and won the game without any danger.
In this game, the Pacers' performance of Harry Burton was impressive. Halliburton played 40 minutes, shooting 7-of-14 from the field, 6-of-12 from three-point range (six three-pointers for a career-high), and 22 points, 16 assists, 5 rebounds and 1 steal.
While doing a good job of individual offense, Halliburton can also create scoring opportunities for his teammates, and he delivered 16 assists in a single game today to sort out the team's attack in an orderly manner.
Pacers coach Carlisle praised Halliburton's play in an interview after the game, saying: "The young man played well, he can make it easier for his teammates.
Halliburton was a member of the Kings a few days ago, but the Pacers negotiated a deal for him.
I wonder if the king's superiors will have a trace of regret in their hearts when they see Halliburton's current performance?
Halliburton is young and talented, has strong projection ability, dares to fight, and has great future prospects.
