Due to their record shooting, the Pacers defeat the Nets

On Saturday, October 29, in New York, the visiting Indiana Pacers defeated the struggling Brooklyn Nets 125-116 thanks to rookie Bennedict Mathurin’s career-high 32 points and a team-record 23 three-pointers (Sunday, October 30, Manila time).

When Chris Duarte made a three-pointer for a 111-101 lead with 6:14 left in the game, the Pacers tied their previous team record for three-pointers (22), which they had previously set twice in May 2021.

With 2:33 remaining, Mathurin connected from the corner to give Indiana its 23rd triple and a 121-109 lead.

Off the bench, Mathurin connected on 8 of 16 shots and nailed six three-pointers as Indiana’s reserves scored a total of 47 points. Additionally, Mathurin made history by becoming the first Pacer rookie since Myles Turner on January 22, 2016, against Golden State to score at least 30 points in a backup role.

The Pacers attempted 46 three-point shots and made half of them, shooting a game-high 42.6%.
