INDIANAPOLIS — Tyrese Haliburton had 22 points and tied a franchise record with 23 assists, becoming only the third player in NBA history with consecutive 20-20 games in those categories, and the Indiana Pacers beat the New York Knicks 140-126 on Saturday night. Jamaal Tinsley had held the Pacers' club record since Nov. 22, 2001, when he posted 23 assists against Washington. Haliburton, who picked up his 23rd on a dish to Andrew Nembhard with 1:05 remaining, joined Hall of Famers Magic Johnson (Dec. 18-19, 1984) and John Stockton (March 1 and March 3, 1994) as the only players with consecutive outings of at least 20 points and 20 assists.
