Pacers Fall Flat in Big Apple, Haliburton's Drought Continues
The Indiana Pacers suffered a lopsided defeat on the road, falling to the New York Knicks 128-109 on Wednesday night. The loss extended Indiana's losing streak to three games, a discouraging trend as they look to maintain their playoff push.
A Dismal Offensive Performance
The Pacers' struggles were evident from the outset, as they struggled to find their offensive rhythm. They shot a dismal 42.9% from the field, including a paltry 27.3% from three-point range. The Knicks, on the other hand, were red-hot, shooting 50.6% from the field and 45.5% from beyond the arc.
Haliburton's Scoring Slump Persists
The Pacers' biggest storyline, however, was the continued struggles of their star point guard, Tyrese Haliburton. In a shocking turn of events, Haliburton failed to score a single point in the game, marking the first time he has gone scoreless in his NBA career.
Haliburton's usual dynamic play was absent, as he struggled to find his shot, finishing the game with 0 points, 1 rebound, and 6 assists. This disappointing performance adds to the growing concerns surrounding Haliburton's recent inconsistency.
Looking Ahead
The Pacers will need to find their offensive rhythm quickly if they want to turn things around. They will have a chance to do so on Friday, when they take on the Brooklyn Nets at home.
Can the Pacers bounce back and find a way to win their next matchup, or will their losing streak continue? The answer will be revealed as they take the court against the Nets.
