At the beginning of the game, the Knicks played a 10-2 attack wave to establish an early lead, and the Pacers found their form in the middle of the quarter, and overtook the score with more points, leading by 5 points at 32-27 at the end of the first quarter.
In the second quarter, the two sides started a battle of offense, and the point difference was very tight, and at halftime, the Pacers led by 2 points at 64-62.

In the case of the team's loss, the three cores of the Knicks delivered a good performance, among which DiVinqinzo became a wonder soldier, shooting 7 of 11 three-pointers in the whole game, and scored 38 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists, 4 steals and 1 block.

With this performance, Haliburton became only the third player in NBA history to score at least 20 points and 20 assists in two consecutive games, the first two being Magic and Stockton.

At the same time, Haliburton has also become the only two active players to have handed in at least 20 points and 20 assists on multiple occasions.
The other player is Willis, who has delivered this performance seven times in a row, and Haliburton has done so twice (in the last two).
Whether it's stats or game dominance, Haliburton has the potential to grow into a new generation of point guard gods.
After the game, when Haliburton learned that his 23 assists equalled the all-time record, Haliburton quipped: "I didn't know that 23 equals the all-time record, otherwise I would have gone for the 24th." Teammates need to shoot goals and assists count. We were hitting non-stop. ”
