Haliburton became the first player in NBA history to have 20 points, 20 assists, 0 turnovers and hit five three-pointers in a single game.

After this game, Jokic set an unprecedented NBA record, becoming the first player in NBA history to record a 20+ triple-double and shoot 100% from the field and free throws. He also became the first player in history to record two triple-doubles on 100 percent shooting and free throw percentage (Jokic scored less than 20 points on another 100 percent shooting triple-double).
