Haliburton scored in the middle of the ball Siakam, who turned over and scored a jumper.
Recreate the famous scene! This ball Toppin wanted to shake off DiVincenzo to score the basket Sika, but DiVincenzo didn't shake up and kept up with the big hat Sika.
DiVincenzo shot a low percentage in the first half, hitting only 2 of 10 shots, and 0 of 4 three-pointers, and was obviously not in good shape.

Therefore, in the second half, the Pacers must adjust their strategy and strengthen their defense to turn the tide.
