In today's NBA game, the Pacers played against the Bulls, and Pacers player Haliburton played an outstanding performance, leading the Pacers to beat the Bulls by 16 points. After the war, Haliburton broke a 40-year-old NBA record, becoming the first person in the history of this statistic. What is the record?
Haliburton made 7-of-17 shooting (6-of-13 from three-point range), 1-of-2 free throws, and scored 21 points, 3 rebounds, 20 assists, 2 steals, 1 block, and 0 turnovers, making him the second person in NBA history to achieve 20 points, 20 assists and 0 turnovers after Paul. In addition, after this game, he has achieved the feat of 15+ assists and 0 turnovers 4 times this season, breaking the 40-year-old NBA record (the previous record was 3), becoming the person with the most assists and 0 turnovers in a single season.
The previous record was set by John Lucas in the 1983-84 season, when he did it three times, and later Nash equaled the record, and Nash also did it three times in the 2006-07 season, but failed to break it. Haliburton has now achieved that feat four times this season, breaking the NBA record in one fell swoop. It is worth mentioning that Haliburton has broken this record with less than 40% of the regular season progression, and Haliburton is expected to continue to break this NBA record this season.
Someone asked Paul what the number of 15 assists and 0 turnovers in a single season is, Paul's personal record is 2, Stockton is also 2, and Magic Johnson is 1, so you can see how terrible Haliburton's 4 are.
