Tyrese Haliburton discussed the defensive pressure he's been getting from the opposing teams

Following Wednesday night's 144-113 win against the Charlotte Hornets, Tyrese Haliburton spoke about getting the defensive pressure from the opposing teams. He says he has been getting blitzed, causing problems for Indiana's offense, per Tony East from Fan Nation's "All Pacers."

"I've never been blitzed like this," Haliburton said. "It's new for me. I'm watching a lot of different film on a lot of different guys who get blitzed pretty regularly. That's been cool. I think I've just been missing. Missing a lot of opportunities, a lot of shots." It's been interesting to see how teams doing it differently."

Against the Hornets, Haliburton put up 19 points (6-of-14 shooting, including 3-of-9 from 3-point range), 13 assists and four turnovers. It wasn't a terrible shooting display, but the four turnovers are noticeable. Considering the Pacers' play, Haliburton has to create shots for himself and make quick decisions for his teammates at the offensive end.

However, because of the excessive blitzing lately from the rival teams, the turnovers have started to pile up. His shotmaking is getting hampered in the process.

In his last eight games with the Pacers, Haliburton averaged 20.1 points (45.9% shooting, including 36.7% from 3-point range), 12.1 assists and 4.0 turnovers per game.
