Indiana Pacers Rumors
“They did something a little different, they switched the matchups,” Haliburton said. “We just got stagnant, stopped making shots, stopped playing our brand of basketball and ultimately fell into the way they play. They controlled the pace tonight.” Having seen the damage and with a day of film before a crucial Game 6, expect the Pacers to be prepared for any switching the Bucks throw, but they looked ill-equipped to handle it Tuesday. Considering this is the 10th time the teams have seen each other this season, everything should be expected. This isn’t the first counter the Bucks have shown. It won’t be the last. “We’re going to see some different looks over the course of this,” Haliburton said. “It’s the 10th time we’ve played them. They got two of their main guys not playing right now, and who knows what their status will be in the next game. We just gotta be prepared for whatever. I think the focus is more on who we are, and we just didn’t do that today.”
