NBA: Pacers Rout Hawks 150 as Haliburton Dishes Out Record 50 Assists
Hawks face daunting challenge against Pacers in final regular season game
Pacers set franchise record with 50 assists, Haliburton leads with 18
The NBA regular season is coming to an end with a bang, and the Indiana Pacers and Atlanta Hawks are set to face off in a crucial matchup on the final day. The Pacers, currently sixth in the Eastern Conference with a record of 46-35, will host the Hawks, who are 10th in the conference with a record of 36-45.
The Pacers are coming off a dominant performance against the Hawks, routing them 150-94. Tyrese Haliburton led the way for Indiana, dishing out a franchise-record 50 assists, the most by any player in the NBA this season. The Pacers also set a franchise record for assists in a game, with 50.
The Hawks, on the other hand, have struggled lately, losing five of their last six games. They will need to find a way to slow down Haliburton and the Pacers' high-powered offense if they want to have any chance of winning.
The Pacers are heavily favored to win this game, but the Hawks have a history of playing well against Indiana. The two teams have split their last four meetings, with the Hawks winning the most recent matchup in Atlanta in March.
The game will be televised on ESPN and will tip off at 3:30 p.m. ET.
