Tyrese Haliburton scores season-high as Pacers fall to 76ers

Tyrese Haliburton bounced back from a scoreless game against the Knicks, posting a season-high 22 points with four rebounds, two assists and a block, though Indiana fell in overtime.

He hit a double-pump 3-pointer with 3.5 seconds left to force the extra period but missed two critical free throws late in overtime that could have tied the game at 116. The Pacers lost 118-114.

Tyrese Maxey scored a season-high 45 points, outscoring the Pacers 10-9 by himself in overtime, helping the 76ers secure their first win of the season.

For the 76ers, Caleb Martin, Eric Gordon and Kelly Oubre Jr. added 17, 1, and 14 points, respectively, while Andre Drummond contributed nine points and grabbed 17 rebounds.

Seven Pacers, including Haliburton, scored in double figures, with Pascal Siakam posting 17, Obi Toppin adding 15, Myles Turner contributing 14 and Aaron Nesmith, Andrew Nembhard and T.J. McConnell chipping in 10 points each.

The Pacers' only win so far came against the Detroit Pistons on Oct. 23, where Haliburton tallied 15 points, five rebounds, four assists, three steals and two blocks.

Next up, the Pacers (1-2) face tough matchups against the surging Orlando Magic and defending champion Boston Celtics.

As of Sunday night, seven Eastern Conference teams, including the Pacers (13th) and 76ers (11th), share 1-2 records, while the Celtics and Cleveland Cavaliers lead with 3-0 starts, and the Magic and Atlanta Hawks follow at 2-1.
