Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner spoke highly about the way Tyrese Haliburton is playing as of late after Wednesday’s 111-91 home win vs. the Toronto Raptors (33 points/3 rebounds/11 assists/3 steals/2 blocks/zero fouls/12-15 FG/7-9 3-PT/2-2 FT/+24 +/-).
*averaging 24.6 PPG/2.4 RPG/10.8 APG/2.2 SPG/0.6 BPG/1.2 TOV/1.2 PF/58.7% FG/52.2% 3-PT/100% FT/+8.2 +/- during the last five games*
(via Indiana Pacers):
“I’m happy for him, man. I think that there was a lot of just unnecessary pressure on him before the All-Star break to try to prove something. I think he took his licks at the beginning of the season. Everybody was talking crazy about him, ‘Is he this? Is he that?’ And I think he just really weathered the storm and I’m really happy that he’s hooping at the level he’s hooping at, because it opens things up for everybody else and he’s one of the leaders on this team. He’s one of our go-to guys, so when he gets hot, it’s a fun night, especially here home at the crib. So I think he’s finally starting to find his stride, now he’s gotta maintain it.”
