The Indiana Pacers lowered the boom on the Washington Wizards on Thursday night, putting up an NBA season-high 162 points in a 53-point win that qualifies as the third-largest margin of victory this season, trailing only the Clippers ' 62-point win over Brooklyn and Boston's 54-point win over the Raptors .

Indiana Pacers star guard Tyrese Haliburton is being predicted to make some NBA history down the stretch of the season.

Tyrese Haliburton scored 29 points, one of nine Indiana players in double figures as the Pacers set a franchise record for points in a game in a 162-109 rout of the Washington Wizards.

Nostalgia pitched up his tone, with Oklahoma City’s Shai Gilgeous-Alexander at the forefront of his mind.  “I grew up in an era where the best player on the best team wins MVP every time,” the Pacers guard said following a 132-111 Thunder win.
