Pacers' Haliburton becomes 3rd player in NBA history with consecutive 20-point, 20-assist games

Tyrese Haliburton had 22 points and tied a franchise record with 23 assists, becoming only the third player in NBA history with consecutive 20-20 games in those categories, and the Indiana Pacers beat the visiting New York Knicks 140-126 on Saturday night.

Haliburton, who picked up his 23rd on a pass to Andrew Nembhard with 1:05 remaining, joined Hall of Famers Magic Johnson (Dec. 18-19, 1984) and John Stockton (March 1 and March 3, 1990) as the only players with consecutive outings of at least 20 points and 20 assists. Jamaal Tinsley set the Indiana mark with 23 against Washington on Nov. 22, 2001.

"I didn't know 23 was the franchise record or otherwise I would have hunted to get 24," Haliburton said with a laugh. "Any time your name is brought up with legends of the game, it's awesome."
