The Pacers Faced With Loss After Tyrese Haliburton’s Exit
The Haliburton setback was further compounded by a chest injury sustained during a collision with Jaylen Brown in the first half. Despite his valiant efforts, his contributions were cut short as he sat out the entire fourth quarter.
Pacers' coach Rick Carlisle also expressed uncertainty about Haliburton's availability for Game 3, emphasizing the need for further assessment to determine the extent of his injuries, as the team faces a pivotal moment in the series when it shifts to Indiana on Saturday.

As they face the prospect of adjusting their lineup in Haliburton's absence, the Pacers are focused on regrouping, rallying together, and maintaining their competitive spirit to continue their quest for success in the series.
