Feels like the Pacers are living on the edge and will live/die from distance.
Haliburton hits his 7th, matching his career-high, to give the Pacers back the lead.
They’ve attempted 57 shots and 31 have been from range. (Conversely, 21 of Heat’s 63 shots from deep.) – 9:40 PM

Didn’t like the Pacers’ close to the half. Settled for 3s and didn’t get into their offense.
Both teams shooting ~50%, Heat lead it 58-56. They have three in double figures.
Haliburton made five 3s, Turner sat with foul trouble and Mathurin, who started, only played 11min. – 9:08 PM

Tyrese Haliburton is feeling good, nailing three triples in the first five minutes.
That’s important because when they squared off 10 days ago, he was kept to 1pt and didn’t make a shot (0 for 9). – 8:19 PM
