He scored 12 more in the second quarter and then 11 in the third quarter, helping the Warriors rally from a 23-point deficit to get within three. Meanwhile, with Curry on the bench for the first 4:23 of the quarter, the Warriors struggled to get offensive production from the rest of their roster. "Just being able to get stops and play in transition," Haliburton asked what made the Pacers so potent that quarter. I think a majority of people who can shoot the ball, the times when they're missing it has a lot to do with just a little bit of hesitancy, a little bit of overthinking. They were still down seven with 3:15 left in the first when Buddy Hield answered a 3-pointer by Stephen Curry and the Pacers caught fire from there. It wouldn't have taken much out of their best player for the Pacers to claim a win. Haliburton responded with one of his best shooting and scoring nights of the season. On a 1-5 screen, that meant the Heat moved center Bam Adebayo onto Haliburton, which meant defending him with one of the best pick-and-roll defenders in the NBA. The Heat defended him with some of their top defenders, and whenever the Pacers tried to run a ball screen for Haliburton, Miami was ready for a switch. I was glad I was able to get that opportunity to make a play for my team." On the ensuing Pacers possession, Turner got the ball near the free throw line and started attacking.
