Tyrese vs. Puerto Rico: First Half
Despite having a pretty high spot in the bench rotation, Tyrese Haliburton had a relatively quiet first half.
After getting subbed in with 2:26 left in the first quarter, Haliburton went to work, grabbing a defensive rebound and logging his first assist a mere minute after checking in on a Bobby Portis jumper.

Haliburton was relatively quiet for the rest of the quarter, not logging any stats until the second quarter, where he logged 4 assists, missed one 3-pointer, and drew an offensive foul off the ball on Puerto Rico’s Ismael Romero before getting subbed out with 4:54 remaining in the half.
