Tyrese Haliburton Leads Pacers to Rout of Nets

Rookie Bennedict Mathurin Scores Career-High 32 Points

NEW YORK (AP) - Tyrese Haliburton scored 27 points and had 13 assists to lead the Indiana Pacers to a 133-111 rout of the Brooklyn Nets on Saturday night.

Rookie Bennedict Mathurin scored a career-high 32 points for the Pacers, who have won three straight games. Haliburton added 12 rebounds for his third triple-double of the season.

The Nets have lost three straight games and are now 12-14 on the season. Kyrie Irving led the Nets with 28 points, while Kevin Durant added 24 points and 10 rebounds.

The Pacers took control of the game in the third quarter, outscoring the Nets 35-19. Mathurin scored 12 points in the quarter, while Haliburton added nine points and seven assists.

The Nets never recovered from the Pacers' third-quarter run, and they trailed by as many as 25 points in the fourth quarter.

The Pacers improved to 13-13 on the season with the win, while the Nets fell to 12-14.

Conclusion

The Pacers' victory was a complete team effort, with Haliburton, Mathurin, and Myles Turner all playing well. The Nets, on the other hand, were unable to get anything going offensively, and they were never really in the game.

The Pacers will look to continue their winning ways when they host the Charlotte Hornets on Tuesday night. The Nets will look to bounce back when they host the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday night.
