Tyrese Haliburton has tied the Pacers franchise record with 23 assists in one game. He claps and looks over toward Wally Szczerbiak after the 23rd assist. – 9:23 PM

Tyrese Haliburton casually has 22 points and 22 assists. Ho hum at this point. – 9:22 PM

Scott Agness @ScottAgness
With two minutes left, Haliburton is one assist shy of @jatinsley’s franchise record of 23.
Already, he’s recorded back-to-back 20-point + 20-assist games. – 9:19 PM

Tony East @TonyREast
Pacers lead 105-92 after three quarters. Tyrese Haliburton has 19 assists, one off of consecutive 20-assist games. Pacers franchise record is 23. Pacers ahve 18 made threes, team record is 23. Stuff to watch in the fourth quarter. – 8:47 PM

Scott Agness @ScottAgness
Pacers with one of their most productive 3Qs this season. Outscored the Knicks 41-30 to take a 105-92 lead into the 4th.
Most impressively, Pacers winning inside & outside the arc while shooting 59%.
Haliburton has 17 & 19a. – 8:47 PM

Micah Adams @MAdamsStatGuy
Tyrese Haliburton’s assist prop was 12.5 and he’s got 12… AT THE HALF.
Combine Pacers scheme with the right opponent and Haliburton might be the biggest threat we’ve ever had for breaking the Scott Skiles single game assist record of 30. – 8:40 PM

Tony East @TonyREast
Very impressive layup by Haliburton. Off balance and switched hands mid air. Puts the Pacers up by 11. – 8:38 PM

Scott Agness @ScottAgness
Knicks are sagging off and leaving Turner open at the top of the arc — and he’s taking advantage. Three of them, including a pair in the quarter.
He’s up to 19 & 8.
And Haliburton is trending >20a. Already has 15. – 8:32 PM

Wally szczerbiak on MSG Network just now on calling Tyrese Haliburton a fake All-Star last season:
“Wasn’t my finest hour. ..I was dead wrong.” – 8:30 PM

Halftime. Pacers lead the Knicks 64-62.
• Randle 15-4-3
• DiVincenzo 15 & 4
• Brunson 13 pts, 4 asts
• Hart 7 & 8
• Haliburton 8 pts, 12 asts
Both teams are shooting 50% from deep. – 8:05 PM

Tony East @TonyREast
Knicks tied the game up a few times in the second quarter. Pacers lead 64-62 at halftime behind 11 points and 6 rebounds from Turner and 8 points plus 12 assists from Haliburton. Knicks toughness is difficult to handle, but Pacers offense has been solid. – 8:04 PM

Scott Agness @ScottAgness
After trailing by nine, the 3-ball started to fall for the Pacers. They made six of them and are up on the Knicks 32-27.
11a on 13FGs.
Haliburton, Nembhard and Turner played nearly the entire 1st. Pacers want to push these shorthanded Knicks on the second night of a b2b. – 7:33 PM
