Although they had beaten the Pistons, the bottom team, they had won in thrilling fashion, and the number of turnovers by the core player Haliburton had increased significantly. In this regard,BucksThe Lakers' tactics were adopted, focusing on limiting Haliburton's play, and effectively limiting the connection between him and his teammates through inside play and outside shots. The effect of this tactic was very obvious, and he scored 21 points, 7 rebounds and 3 steals in the first half, shooting 70% from the field. As the game progressed, Brother Alphabet's firepower continued to escalate, and he had already scored 30 points by the end of the third quarter.

Seeing his teammates ejected, he became angry, and he began to attack the opponent's basket, constantly breaking his own scoring record. He climbed the scoring ladder and soon surpassed 49 points, but in fact, he had already brushed up to 49 points before the opponent made a substitution. However, he didn't stop and continued to attack like crazy, scoring constantly. He didn't leave any passing opportunities and instead focused on his own scoring and attacking the opposition substitutes, which was unacceptable. Although the team has a 22-point lead, he is still slashing the score.
His stats were truly impressive, as he finished with an insane 64 points, 14 rebounds, four steals, two assists and one block on 20-of-28 shooting from the field and 24-of-32 from the free-throw line. He made 34 free throws, more than the opponent's entire team. However, the scoring in the final minutes of this game was truly unacceptable. PacersWith 5:22 left in the fourth quarter, they were on the bench with full benches, meaning they gave up their chance to win. However, he did not give up the opportunity to score points, and he continued to attack, scoring nine points in a row through free throws and baskets.
