The Eastern Conference Finals averaged 21+9 and lost only one game: Halliburton was criticized for being overrated and forgot about winning many times?

On May 26, the Pacers were reversed by the Knicks 100-106, and the score was tied to 1-2. In this game, the Pacers once led by up to 20 points at home. Unexpectedly, the Knicks completed the reversal in the second half. The Knicks allowed Towns to dominate the inside 20+8 in the final quarter. At the decisive moment, Sika missed a three-pointer and was about to finish the game. Halliburton and Sika both cut in vain.

Halliburton was tepid in the first quarter with 4 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists. He broke out in the second half of the second quarter, and a three-pointer with an emergency stop widened the gap to 18 points.

Then Halliburton stole Hart's pass and dunked directly. Halliburton helped the Pacers score a 13-0 wave. He scored 5 points by himself, and the Pacers once opened to 20 points. Halliburton made 3 of 6 shots and 1 of 4 three-pointers in the first half, scoring 9 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals.

The magic of the change of sides and fighting Halliburton failed to continue. He made 2+ 5 three-pointers and 0 three-pointers in 9 minutes in a single quarter, scored 4 points, 2 assists and 1 steal. After the third quarter, Halliburton scored 13 points, 6 assists, 3 rebounds and 3 steals.

After Brunson made both free throws, Sika's three-pointer failed to hit the game to the end. Harry scored 7 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist in the last quarter.

Halliburton made 7 of 15 shots, 2 of 8 three-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws, scored 20 points, 7 assists, 4 rebounds, 3 steals and 3 turnovers, with a shooting percentage of 46.7%, a three-point shooting percentage of 25%, plus or negative value -1. (Average 21.6 points, 5.3 rebounds, 9.6 assists in the three games of the Eastern Conference Finals)

But the US media still criticized him: Halliburton is the luckiest and most overrated athlete in the league. (Halliburton has scored many times in the playoffs/Grading, criticize him if he loses?)
