There are stat lines, and then there are Tyrese Haliburton stat lines. The Indiana Pacers star guard has made a habit of rewriting the rules of efficiency, and no stat better showcases his brilliance than this: 30+ points, 15+ assists, and 0 turnovers—in a single game. It’s a mind-boggling combination of scoring, facilitation, and care that few, if any, have ever achieved.
But Haliburton hasn’t just done it once. He’s done it three times in his young career, joining a rare group of players who have ever even flirted with that level of productivity and perfection. As the Pacers head into a critical Game 5 matchup against the New York Knicks in the Eastern Conference Finals, there’s no better time to rewind and appreciate just how special Tyrese has been when the lights are bright.
Let’s break down his TOP PLAYS from each of those three unforgettable performances—masterclasses that define his rise as one of the NBA’s elite guards.
1. November 19, 2023 – Pacers vs. Sixers
Stat line: 33 points, 16 assists, 0 turnovers
Result: Pacers win 132-126
This was the game where Tyrese Haliburton officially let the league know he was that guy.
Against a surging Sixers squad featuring Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey, Haliburton went to work with a surgical mindset. His highlight reel from this game was filled with deep pull-up threes, dazzling no-look dimes, and picture-perfect floaters. One of the top plays? A left-handed wraparound pass between two defenders that found Myles Turner in stride for a slam.
Later, with under two minutes to go in a tight game, Haliburton iced the contest with a step-back three from the top of the arc that sent Gainbridge Fieldhouse into a frenzy.
Zero turnovers in a game with 16 assists? That’s not just rare—it’s historic.
2. January 8, 2024 – Pacers vs. Hawks
Stat line: 31 points, 15 assists, 0 turnovers
Result: Pacers win 136-120
This performance was a blend of style and control, and it came at a time when the Pacers were surging in the East. The Hawks tried multiple coverages—drop, hedge, switch—and none of it mattered. Haliburton controlled the pace like a seasoned maestro, delivering dime after dime to shooters and rim-runners.
A standout play came in the third quarter, when he pulled off a fake behind-the-back pass to TJ McConnell, spun away from the defender, and floated in a lefty layup with ease. The bench was up. The fans were stunned.
But perhaps the most memorable moment came with 40 seconds left in the game. Instead of forcing a shot to pad stats, Haliburton dribbled out the clock on a possession, opting for poise over flash. It was a veteran move from a rising star, further proving why he’s trusted with the keys to this Pacers offense.
3. March 21, 2025 – Pacers vs. Mavericks
Stat line: 35 points, 17 assists, 0 turnovers
Result: Pacers win 144-138 (OT)
This was the performance. A game against Luka Dončić and Kyrie Irving that had all the makings of a shootout turned into the Tyrese Haliburton Showcase.
He hit seven threes, including back-to-back daggers in overtime that effectively closed the door on Dallas. But more than the points, it was the decision-making under pressure that made this game so iconic. Every late-clock pass was precise. Every play had purpose. No wasted motion. No forced looks.
One of the top highlights? With under a minute in OT, Haliburton drove right, looked off the defense, and delivered a one-handed laser to Bennedict Mathurin in the corner—who buried the three. It was the kind of pass that only a handful of players in the league can make—and even fewer can make without turning it over once all night.
A Playmaker with Purpose
What makes Haliburton’s triple-30/15/0 stat lines so impressive isn’t just the numbers—it’s how he achieves them. He doesn’t dominate the ball selfishly. He doesn’t hunt assists. He plays within the flow, always looking for the best decision, not just the most spectacular.
In an era of high-usage guards and turnover-prone superstars, Haliburton is a breath of fresh air. He combines the court vision of a young Chris Paul with the confidence and range of a modern three-level scorer. That mix is rare. That mix is dangerous.
And as the Pacers prepare for their biggest game in nearly two decades—a potential trip to the NBA Finals for the first time since 2000—they’re looking to their star to lead once again.
Game 5 Is Here
So here we are. Game 5. Pacers vs. Knicks. 8:00pm ET. TNT.
The Eastern Conference Finals tied up. The stakes sky-high. Every possession matters. Every decision magnified.
And you know what gives Indiana confidence?
They’ve got Tyrese Haliburton.
The man who’s already delivered perfection on three separate nights. The man who makes plays others won’t even attempt. The man who might just drop another 30+ and 15 with 0 turnovers when the pressure’s at its peak.
So fire up the highlights. Watch those top plays on repeat. And then tune in—because something special could happen again tonight.
