Pacers Look To Pick Up Pace Versus Cavs

Indiana have a 2-1 semi lead, but host top seeds Cleveland who are 3-0 on the road

- 

INDIANA - In some circles, Indiana Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton was perceived as a no-show both during and after his team's loss in Game 3 of the NBA Eastern Conference semi-final series against the Cleveland Cavaliers on May 9.

First off, he created little noise on the court by scoring just four points on two-of-eight shooting during the fourth-seeded Pacers' 126-104 setback to the top-seeded Cavaliers.

Afterwards, he was noticeably absent in any place inhabited by a reporter.

Haliburton, who addressed that situation on May 10, will look to have more of an impact on May 11 (May 12, Singapore time) when the Pacers host the Cavaliers in Game 4 in Indianapolis.

Indiana hold a 2-1 lead in the best-of-seven series. Yet Cleveland are 3-0 on the road in the playoffs - and they are winning by an average of 38 points in those games.

Haliburton held court with reporters on May 10, telling them that he was not made available by the league following Game 3.

As for how he was feeling now?
