The full box score of the Pacers’ victory against the Bulls available here
The Pacers were scared against the Bulls. Indiana players led by 24 points in the third quarter before seeing their opponents come back to six points. Finally, carried by a historic Tyrese Haliburton, they won a precious away victory 120 to 104.
The All-Star leader achieved a performance last night that had only been achieved once in the history of the NBA: a game with more than 20 points, 20 assists and without losing a ball. Chris Paul did it in 2016 against the New Orleans Pelicans and Tyrese Haliburton therefore joined him in this very restricted club.

He also became the fifth man to exceed this mark of 20 passes in a match without losing a ball after Chris Paul, Rickey Green, John Lucas and Kevin Porter.
There are only 5 players to have finished an NBA game with 20 assists and 0 lost balls in history:
Chris Paul
Rickey Green
John Lucas
Kevin Porter (not Jr)
And now Tyrese Haliburton.

This victory for the Pacers against a competitor in the Playoffs does a lot of good for the Indianapolis franchise which remained on six defeats in their last eight meetings. With 21 points, 20 assists and 3 rebounds, the leader of the Pacers was the conductor on the floor. In defense he managed to limit the impact of Coby White, although he was on cloud nine recently.
The nickname of Point God by Chris Paul would also look great on Tyrese Haliburton. By joining him in history last night, the leader of the Pacers proved it again.
