He also made Pacers history with his teammate Bennedict Mathurin.

Via StatMamba: "Tyrese Haliburton & Bennedict Mathurin are the first duo in Pacers history to each score 35+ PTS in the same game."

This is for regular season!

Reggie Miller & Jalen Rose each recorded 35+ PTS in the same playoff game in 2000.
