One day ahead of Wednesday’s pivotal Game 3 matchup, Indiana Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton opened up on the pressure that comes with success. In a chat with Malika Andrews, Hali explained the popular trend of discrediting his team and their approach as the underdogs through the entire postseason. “I think when you’re successful, people will always find a reason to discredit you,” said Haliburton. “That’s really how it goes. The way that our sport is talked about sometimes, even by people put in major positions to talk about it, is not always beneficial to anybody. I just think that’s how things go sometimes. For us, it’s about controlling what we can. At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter what people have to say about our road to get here, where we are right now, how we’re playing — we’re three games away from being NBA champions, and that’s the biggest thing… Time flies and we’re just trying to enjoy where we are, enjoy where our feet are, and we’ll take the results.”
