10 pieces of NBA history Tyrese Haliburton made in Game 4 masterclass

4. Second player with 20/10/5 in a playoff half

Hali did most of his damage in the first half with 20 points, 10 assists and eight rebounds. He joined Russell Westbrook as the only player in the play-by-play era to record the stat line in a single half. 

5. Second player with 15/5/5 in a playoff quarter

The All-Star guard set the tone early for his team with 15 points, six assists and five rebounds in the first quarter, which helped the Pacers amass 43 points on 69 percent shooting. Hali joined LeBron James as the second player with a 15/5/5 playoff quarter. 

6. Third player with 30/10/15 in a playoff game

The appreciation for Hali's performance is heightened since it came under the brightest of lights. He joined Oscar Robertson and Nikola Jokic as the third player to record a 30/10/15 in the postseason.

7. First triple-double with zero TO in the Conference Finals

An achievement that eluded all the triple-double machines in history? Again, if Hali's performance came in the regular season, it may have gone under the radar. No player until Tuesday had produced a triple-double with zero turnovers in the conference finals.

8. First with four steals in a 32-point triple-double

Haliburton came away with four steals in the Game 4 victory, including a critical swipe from Mikal Bridges in the fourth quarter that helped the Pacers stave off the Knicks' momentum. He became the first player ever to grab four steals on top of a 32-point triple-double.

9. Fastest to 500/150/250 since Magic Johnson

Back in 2020, Magic Johnson, universally regarded as the GOAT of PGs, nicknamed Hali "Little Magic" for his ability to run an offense. It's rather fitting that Haliburton on Tuesday became the fastest player to reach 500 points, 150 rebounds and 200 assists in the playoffs since Johnson.

10. On an island by himself

This is arguably the most impressive of them all. Much like the NBA almanac has chapters dedicated to Wilt Chamberlain's feats, Hali has created a new statistical anomaly no other player has sniffed. On Tuesday, he recorded the unique stat line for a third time.
