HALIBURTON TO KEEP ‘MY JOB FOR BASKETBALL’ AFTER LEADING PACERS OVER PELICANS

Expect Haliburton to keep “my job for basketball” after he led the Pacers over the New Orleans Pelicans, 114-110.

Furthermore, the All-Star forward capped his 34-point performance with nine three-pointers (9-for-18 from deep).

He also had 13 assists and three steals.

Moreover, Haliburton said basketball was getting into “job territory.”

This led to his lack of energy the past few games.

“I think whhat I just have to keep is my joy for the game of basketball,” the Team USA member said.

“Everyone wants to say be happy, have fun. That’s hard to do when you’re losing,” he added.

The win pushes Indiana to claiming two straight victories after losing three in a row and five of their last eight.
