Tyrese Haliburton didn't have a great showing in Game 2 of the 2025 NBA Finals, but his coach is sticking up for him.
Haliburton finished the game with 17 points, six assists, three rebounds, two stealsand two blocks, but also turned it over five times in the Indiana Pacers' 123–107 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder. The 25-year-old hit 7 of 13 shots from the field and was 3 of 8 from three-point range. But of those 17 points, 12 came in the fourth quarter, which was never competitive. Oklahoma City entered the final frame with a 93–74 lead.
