“Wow” wrote Tyrese Maxey recently, reflecting on words that thousands and thousands would have been thinking after the conclusion of Game 1 of the NBA Finals. By the time the 1st half ended, it was clear that the odds were not in the Indiana Pacers’ favor. After all, Tyrese Haliburton and co had recorded a total of 19 turnovers in that brief period! The Pacers were down 57-45 at the half. By the time 2:36 minutes remained in the 4th, OKC was leading 108-99. Then, in another surprise, Tyrese Haliburton delivered another of his iconic clutch performances, and secured the win for his team by 1 point! Despite the win, however, the lapses will not go anywhere. Therefore, no one blamed the players for not being in the best mood.
After the close 111-110 win, ESPN highlighted Tyrese Haliburton heading to the locker room. He waited for Pascal Siakam to catch up to him. The two shared an embrace, and then walked together, with a smile not appearing on either of their faces. Haliburton said “Come on, man. Let’s get greedy, man. We got so much work to do”. Siakam agreed, and added “We didn’t even play well”. Woah!
“Let’s get greedy, man.”
“We didn’t even play well.”
