The rest that's built into the NBA Finals can be a good thing, especially now

Given the way Indiana guard Tyrese Haliburton was limping on his way out of the postgame news conference after Game 5 of the NBA Finals, it's safe to assume he's a fan of the schedule right about now. Haliburton has a lower leg injury — nobody's saying exactly what it is, whether it's ankle or calf or something else — and it seems to be the sort that if this were a back-to-back situation in December, he'd be missing at least one game. Amen to that, the Pacers are probably saying right about now.
