Chalmers had three points on 1-of-3 shooting in Game 1, following that up with just five points in 31 minutes in Game 2.
His inability to stay on the court has held him back from getting into any sort of a rhythm. He has more personal fouls through three games (12) than he does points (10).
“I think everybody else is doing their job and I’m being that guy that’s not helping out. I don’t want to be that guy,” Chalmers told reporters after the Game 3, per CBS Sports.
