June 14th, the Pacers lost to the Thunder 104-111, with a total score of 2-2. After the game, Halliburton was interviewed.

Reporter: In the first three quarters, your defensive efforts, especially the defense against SGA, are you doing well? He had 0 assists in the whole game, but why could he break through the defense in the last quarter?

Halliburton: "We used a good mix of defensive strategies, and Nemhard, Shepard and Nesmith performed well on the defensive end. We worked hard to make SGA's offense difficult, but we needed to reduce fouls - this is our main source of errors. Despite this, he scored 35 points, and he was difficult to be limited after all. We need to continue to put collective pressure on the rebounds and fast breaks."
