Could the Pacers’ Bold Strategy Against the Thunder Rewrite NBA Finals History?
The Pacers used a blend of unpredictability and better execution to get the 6-foot-5 point guard the chances he needed.
The strength of coach Rick Carlise’s offense lies in its malleability. Haliburton is the engine, but he doesn’t have to be exclusively a high pick-and-roll player.
The Thunder’s defense is like an elite NFL quarterback. If they know what is coming, they’ll beat it, so varying looks is a must. The Pacers need screens to free up Haliburton against OKC, and they did a better job at differentiating exactly where they set screens and flipping screens at the last second.
