INDIANAPOLIS — Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton looked and sounded more like himself Monday night. He made one 3-pointer after another, found open teammates with nifty passes after the 114-110 victory over New Orleans. He was smiling — and winning — again. For the affable two-time All-Star, it was a needed change. There were a series of injuries that severely thinned the Pacers once-deep roster. After spending almost two months blaming his own early season struggles for a rash of Pacers losses, it felt good to finally let go of some of the frustration bottled up inside him.
