Tyrese Haliburton posted four points on zero field goals in the Indiana Pacers' Game 5 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder, managing only six attempts from the floor. He looked tentative and to be nowhere near 100% physically. ESPN NBA analyst Kendrick Perkins offered some real-time commentary about the developing situation during the halftime show and didn't hold back on the Pacers star.
"“Sit him down,” Perkins said. “Well, sit him down, because I don’t want to hear any excuses. If you’re on the floor, you need to produce. This is the NBA Finals. This is Game 5. And to be honest, before he went down with the calf injury, he looked scared. He looked scared to death."
