Two young star PG duked it out in a thrilling, last minute 5 point win. The final 157-152 score is one of the highest total game scores of all time.

Also notable: Buddy Hield at 24 points on 109% TS (6/6 3FG)

Excuse me? What are those TS numbers???

Just to be fair, props to Trae. I've been talking some shit lately but that was a great game by him. Haliburton was nuts as well. Dude is gonna be an all time great

Tyrese Haliburton is incredible.

Two terrible defenders duking it out to compile stats and look better then they are. Learn to cover or you will never win. Either that or beg to play with Giannis or AD and hope they can carry you

I get your narrative but Trae is almost average on defense this year.

Except the Pacers do win. Tyrese averages 25-12 on 51/46. Do all NBA teams just suck on D? How about the Sixers or the bucks, whom Tyrese shredded?

Both teams had splits of like 60/48/75 and 60/48/82 yuck!

This was a master class in good defense

[–] sportsfan161@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Like an Allstar game out there

He needs to be in the MVP conversation

[–] Drak_is_Right@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Neither PG could guard the other. Biggest difference though on defense is Halliburton is a bit bigger so he doesnt get killed with size on switches. Just speed.

This guy is not human

Maybe shoot the 3 instead of going for the contested layup if you're down by 3.

Hawks are the dumbest team in pro sports.

Quin definitely should've called a timeout and Dejounte was dumb for going for the contested layup, but how is the whole team dumb for it? Lol

So glad I watched this game. Absolutely amazing.

To be fair, these shooting numbers are not going to last- and then the absurd assist numbers will come back to earth too.

Fun while it lasts though.
