Tyrese Haliburton scored 23 points, Bennedict Mathurin added 20 and the Indiana Pacers beat the Brooklyn Nets 113-99.

The Indiana Pacers are starting to play some better basketball than they were to start the season. They dug themselves into a hole, starting the year just 6-10.

Haliburton's numbers on the year (18.3 points, 8.8 assists, and 3.8 rebounds per game on 43.9% shooting) are down across the board from his breakout 2023-24 campaign, but he's shown signs of life as of late. Over the past 11 games, Haliburton is averaging 20.2 points and 9.7 assists per game, while shooting a much improved 48.1% from the floor.
