Halliburton: Playing point guard is like being a mom Your job is to take care of every teammate

May 5th, in the NBA playoff Eastern Conference semifinals, the Pacers beat the Cavaliers 121-112 to get a good start.

In this game, Pacers guard Halliburton scored and assisted on one shoulder, performed well on both offense and defense. He played 9 of 15 shots in 36 minutes, made 2 of 6 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, scored 22 points, 3 rebounds, 13 assists, 1 steal and 3 blocks, plus or negative value +11.

After the game interview, Halliburton was asked about being called "pure point guard" by his teammates. In response, Halliburton said: "I'm not sure about this, but that's where I am, I don't know much about it. I feel that I'm organizing the offense at a high level, trying to get my teammates involved, and protecting the ball as much as possible to help the team. That's what I think. Like I said many times, being a point guard is like being a mom. Your job is to take care of every teammate, and I've been trying to do it at a high level."
