Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton made history with a remarkable performance, recording 32 points, 12 rebounds, and 15 assists—setting multiple playoff records in the process.

Haliburton became the first player in NBA playoff history to post a 30-point, 15-assist, 10-rebound game without committing a single turnover. Additionally, his 15 assists set the record for the most in a playoff game without a turnover.

After the game, Haliburton joked about the statistical milestones, suggesting the media might be exaggerating to hype him up.

"I feel like we’re making up stats at some point to make me look better," Haliburton said with a smile.

He also gave credit to his father, John Haliburton, for inspiring his historic night.

"I’m glad Pops is in the building. Makes it that much more sweet. Yeah, he had a little bit to do with it," Haliburton said.

Now holding a 3–1 lead in the series, the Pacers have a chance to close out the Knicks on the road in Game 5, returning to Madison Square Garden, where they won the first two games of the series.
