Perhaps the biggest assist of this season for Haliburton came on Nov. 28 in a big road win against the Los Angeles Lakers. After the game, Haliburton went into detail about his thought process when he decided to dish the ball to rookie Andrew Nembhard who knocked down the game-winning three-point shot.

Wednesday's win moved the Pacers to 13-12 on the season and they currently sit in sixth place in the Eastern Conference standings. They are only half a game back of the fourth place Brooklyn Nets.
