The Indiana Pacers have come out swinging at the start of the 2023-24 season.
They hold a 6-4 record right now, powered by the impressive skill of multiple players, including Tyrese Haliburton.
Haliburton has been dynamic in every game and has earned a prized NBA statistic.
According to Basketball Reference, Haliburton has the most games with 15+ assists and 0 turnovers since the start of the 2021-22 season.
Haliburton has achieved this four times, while Chris Paul of the Golden State Warriors has twice and no other players have done it at all.

Haliburton has been playing terrific basketball for the last few seasons but 2023-24 might be his finest year yet.
He is currently producing 23.8 points, 3.9 rebounds, and a league-high 12.2 assists per game.
Last season featured Haliburton getting his first All-Star selection – is he on the way to his second one this year?
Many people thought the Pacers would turn things around this season but few expected them to get off to such a great start.
While their 6-4 record is definitely noteworthy, the season is still young and many formidable competitors await them, especially in the tough Eastern Conference.
Haliburton is fresh off of a couple of very special games, with 25 points against the Philadelphia 76ers and 29 against the Milwaukee Bucks.
But no game beats his 43 points and 12 assists against the Charlotte Hornets last week.
The Pacers have a few supremely talented stars, such as Myles Turner, Bennedict Mathurin, Buddy Hield, and others.
But over the last couple of seasons, it’s become clear that Haliburton is at the center of the team’s future.
