Haliburton’s injury will significantly impact the Pacers’ chances in Game 6, even if they hold the homecourt advantage. Their chances of winning will hinge on his health and performance, or should he not be able to answer the bell for Game 6, the team’s ability to adapt and perform even better collectively.
This year, the Pacers have taught us that games with 7 to 9 point-leads with a minute to go are no longer safe. A 3-possession ballgame, with a minute to go, can still be stolen. They have also showed us a great trapping defense that should be a basic staple for all aspiring coaches. Finally, the Pacers are showing us a pug-nosed determination and poise that should be a case study for all teams or organizations that are in difficult situations in their fields. The Pacers may be young, but they are showing us a refreshing stability under immense pressure.
