The Indiana Pacers outclassed the Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 4 of their playoff series and are now one win away from the Eastern Conference finals. They were able to do this despite their best player, Tyrese Haliburton, being a relative non-factor with 11 points on 3-for-8 shooting. Haliburton, who by virtue of not being made available by the team following the Pacers' Game 3 loss and therefore had to answer a bunch of questions about it, was once again asked big-picture stuff like how he deals with criticism on Sunday. To which he had a pretty straightforward and honest answer.
"It's just basketball, bro," Haliburton said. "I get paid a lot of money to play a child's game ... I love my job. Criticism is sometimes warranted, sometimes it's not."
