Tyrese Haliburton has a career 20 assists as the Pacers beat the Bulls 120-104 last night. He’s only the fifth player in NBA history to have 20 or more assists without a turnover, and the the second to do so since 1984. Myles Turner had 24 points to lead the blue and gold as the Pacers hit 19 3’s in the ball game. Demar Derozen tried to answer back, but his 21 points weren’t good enough. Colby White has been taking over for Zach Lavine who has now missed 14 games, but was only goof for 16 points. The Bulls move to 9-6 without him on the court this season. That’s the exact same mark without him in his 2022-2023 season when he missed 15 games.
Pacers will host the Knicks tomorrow night. Indy lost 3 of 4 to New York last season including both games at home. All 4 were also decided by single digits. Meanwhile, the Bulls will host Philly tomorrow. the 76’ers are currently in the 3 spot, but Chicago did beat them already earlier in the season. Bulls won that game without Zach Lavine as well.
