Haliburton Orchestrates a Masterful Performance as Pacers Obliterate Hawks 150–116



The Indiana Pacers put on a show Friday night, dismantling the Atlanta Hawks 150-116 in a game dominated by the brilliance of Tyrese Haliburton. The young point guard, who led the league in assists, lived up to his reputation, dishing out an astounding 18 assists, a franchise record for the Pacers..

Opens in a new window

Haliburton wasn't just setting up his teammates; he was scoring himself too, chipping in 10 points and 8 rebounds in just over 25 minutes. His on-court partnership with Myles Turner was on full display, as Turner poured in a game-high 27 points on efficient 10-of-14 shooting. The Pacers offense was simply unstoppable, with Bennedict Mathurin adding 18 points, Bruce Brown chipping in 17, and Aaron Nesmith contributing 15.

Atlanta, despite Trae Young's 28-point effort, had no answer for the Pacers' offensive onslaught. Their defense was porous, allowing Indiana to shoot a blistering 55% from the field and 45% from three-point range. The Hawks simply couldn't keep up with the Pacers' ball movement and unselfish play, epitomized by the team's record-breaking 50 assists.

The Pacers' victory put them in the Eastern Conference playoff picture and was their sixth straight win overall. Being the only player in franchise history to have 11 games with 10 or more assists, Haliburton's performance was very impressive. Along with tying a team record and joining the ranks of great players like Russell Westbrook, he recorded his 10th game of the season with at least 15 assists. As per Pacers coach Rick Carlisle, "The assist number is tremendous." A franchise record in the NBA and ABA is undoubtedly quite impressive and attests to the team's selflessness. We should be happy about that.

The Pacers, led by Haliburton, are a formidable force in the East when they play with contagious intensity. The Hawks were defeated by them in a

Here are a few more crucial lessons learned from the game:


The Pacers scored 150 points against the Hawks for the second time this season; the first time was on November 21st in a 157-152 victory at Atlanta. Turner's pick-and-roll with Haliburton was the dominant play of the evening, as Turner made multiple easy baskets off of Haliburton's dimes. A big contribution came from the Pacers' bench as well, as Buddy Hield and Chris Duarte both scored ten and twelve points.


The Pacers' next matchup is with the Milwaukee Bucks on Tuesday. The Pacers will undoubtedly thrill their supporters with another thrilling performance given the momentum they've gained with Haliburton in the forefront.

  Real Madrid beats Atletico 5-3 in extra time thriller to reach Spanish Super Cup final RIYADH, Saudi Arabia (AP) — After own-goals, goalkeeping blunders and a milestone by Antoine Griezmann, Real Madrid outlasted Atletico Madrid in thrilling extra time victory in the semifinal of Spanish Super Cup in Saudi Arabia on Wednesday. Two late goals gave Madrid a 5-3 win over its rival in a match in which Griezmann surpassed Luis Aragonés as Atletico’s all-time top scorer with 174 goals.

Feud: Capote vs. the Swans Premiere Recap: Welcome to Swan Lake

Feud: Capote vs. the Swans  Premiere Recap: Welcome to Swan Lake  Setting the opening scene of Capote vs. the Swans at a lake where an older Truman Capote stares at a number of the birds lazing about on the water is perhaps a bit on the nose. But then, the subject of this Ryan Murphy–produced series demands such operatic visual language. The rift that drove the author of Breakfast at Tiffany’s and In Cold Blood out of the stylish, moneyed set of society “swans” he was so fond of cultivating was the stuff of tabloid fodder and of more hushed (and therefore far more vicious) gossip among the wealthy elite. The story all but demands to be told in a cursive headline font or the equivalent thereof — which translates to Tom Hollander as the fedora-sporting writer looking fondly at actual swans as he muses on what he has lost and whether his banishment from society was worth it after all. Soon, Jon Robin Baitz’s script for this premiere episode — based, as is the entire season, on La...
