Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton requested to be pull out of the Game 6 elimination game of the NBA Finals on Thursday if he was not performing well on the court.

The Thunder defense just wasn’t anywhere close to as locked in as it needed to be. Through three quarters — the game was decided then — the Thunder had forced only seven turnovers (to Oklahoma City’s 16) while giving up 12 second-chance points (to OKC’s four) and 19 fast-break points (to OKC’s five).
