The walkers are in trouble! Haliburton was obviously limping after the game, suspected of being injured, and G3 was in worrying condition

On June 9, Beijing time, in the second game of the finals, the Pacers lost to the Thunder 107-123 away, and the overall score was 1-1. In his post-match interview, Haliburton was visibly limping as he got up and left, suspected to be injured, and his G3 form was also worrying.

Thunder reporter Joel Lorenzi wrote on social media: "Haliburton limped a little as he walked from the locker room to the stage of the post-game press conference. Pacers reporter Tony East also said that Haliburton did limp a little when he got off the stage after the game. It took him a lot of effort to get up. ESPN reporter Collier had a similar description.

In this game, Haliburton played 34 minutes and 15 seconds, shot 7 of 13, 3 of 8 three-pointers, and made no free throws, got 17 points, 3 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks, and had 5 turnovers to tie his personal playoff record.

After the game, Haliburton scored 17 points in the game, but 12 of those points came in the fourth quarter. It's worth noting that the Pacers trailed by 19 points heading into the fourth quarter, while most of Haliburton's scoring came after the game was out of suspense.

However, when the game was deadlocked, the Thunder's defensive ace Dort, was the one who made Haliburton the hardest. In the first three quarters, Haliburton scored only 5 points on 2-of-7 shooting, and his performance of 4 assists accompanied by 3 turnovers was not his norm.

In an interview with All-Star Jalen Williams before the fourth quarter, he bluntly stated that "Dort" was the reason Haliburton was struggling.

While Dort deserves most of the credit, it's the result of the team's defense. Caruso, Carson Wallace, and even Holmgren all took turns to make it difficult for Haliburton.

Now, with the first two games tied 1-1 and the Finals going to be a best-of-five game, the Pacers have home-court advantage, but Haliburton is in real trouble if they are stuck with injuries.
