That's how I see it as well. Haliburton can't have poor starts and not be aggressive in the first half of games. He came on in the second half, but the lead was too big to overcome. Pascal Siakam needs to have a big game for them to win, too.

Exactly.  Game 1 was lightning in a bottle, like 1:1000000 shot.  They'll get one more win at home, then they'll be home.
