Lakers star LeBron James credited Tyrese Haliburton (24 points, 14 assists, zero turnovers) for his "cerebral" play in leading to his side's defeat to Indiana Pacers' 116-115 on Tuesday, November 29.
"Everything has to go wrong in order for you to lose a game like that, and everything went wrong," James said.
"And you got to tip your hat to Indiana. They kept fighting, they kept pushing. We messed up a coverage to start, and that's how Myles Turner was able to get the open 3," James said.
"We had already messed up the coverage to start. So that's why we were in scramble mode after that."
