Tyrese Haliburton Is Taking Inspiration From Stephen Curry For NBA Finals
The Tyrese Haliburton-led Pacers are currently holding a tight advantage in the NBA Finals against the Thunder following the Game 3 win.
In this game, Haliburton fell just one rebound short of a triple-double despite a great showing.
Recently, Sports Illustrated’s Chris Mannix revealed that Haliburton has been studying a decade’s worth of footage of Stephen Curry in preparation for the Finals.
“Early in the week, Haliburton’s trainer, Drew Hanlen, fired off a file of a decade’s worth of Curry’s postseason field goals. A highlight reel of Curry torching defenders from San Antonio to Houston, Cleveland to Boston. A generation of shooters have been inspired by Curry. In his first NBA Finals, perhaps Haliburton could be, too,” he wrote.
