Indiana Pacers' Tyrese Haliburton delivered a historic performance against the Chicago Bulls, achieving a rare 20-20 game without committing a single turnover. Haliburton's exceptional night included 21 points, 20 assists, and six 3-pointers made, contributing to a Pacers' 12-0 run. He joins Chris Paul as the only players in NBA history to record a game with 20+ points, 20+ assists, and zero turnovers. Moreover, Haliburton is the first player since the three-pointer was introduced in the 1979-80 season to reach 20+ points, 20+ assists, and 5+ three-pointers in a single game. His performance was even more remarkable considering he was questionable to play due to a back injury, but treatment and determination saw him lead the Pacers to victory. Pacers coach Rick Carlisle expressed surprise at Haliburton's ability to play, given his condition earlier in the day. After the game, Haliburton received a hug from his dad, celebrating his career night.
Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton was questionable last night at Chicago. He played, the Pacers won - and Haliburton made NBA history. Ever heard of a 20-20 game like THIS? Me neither. @THEAkeemGlaspie has more. https://t.co/6GMY1F7KCb
