Game Preview

The Indiana Pacers have an unblemished 6-0 home record during the NBA playoffs, but another obstacle has emerged.

Not only do the Pacers trail the Boston Celtics 2-0 in the Eastern Conference finals, but Indiana may not have the services of star point guard Tyrese Haliburton for Saturday’s pivotal Game 3 in Indianapolis.

Haliburton injured his left hamstring during the second quarter of Thursday’s 126-110 loss in Game 2 and exited for good late in the third quarter. The team listed him as questionable for Saturday’s contest.
