Pacers' Tyrese Haliburton is best player on floor in return to Oklahoma City

Regular starters Andrew Nembhard and Aaron Nesmith were out for the game, while T.J. McConnell and Jarace Walker missed the game as well. Ben Sheppard and Kelly Oubre Jr. started in place of Nembhard and Nesmith. The Pacers led 61-59 at halftime before subbing all their regular starters out of the game. Haliburton returned to the floor after missing the Pacers' second preseason game with an ankle injury, and he was the best player on the floor. Haliburton scored 24 points while shooting 9-for-14 from the field, including 4-for-6 on 3s in 18 minutes (all in the first half).
