Pacers 114 [win] 110 Cavaliers
★TJ McConnell｜16 points, 13 assists, 10 steals, FG 8-8
TJ McConnell, who started off the bench, completed 9 interceptions in the first half, setting a new league record. He scored 16 points, 13 assists, and 10 interceptions in the game, becoming the 11th time in history that a triple was included in an interception and the 4th time in history. A player who completed a triple with points, assists and interceptions, led the Pacers to overcome a 19-point deficit in the third quarter and ended their recent 4-game losing streak. McConnell had 10 points, 10 rebounds, and 11 assists in the 2018 game, but this time he set an even rarer interception triple.
In the past 20 years in the NBA, Draymond Green and Lou Williams have had 10 interceptions in a single game. Today is the second time in his career that he has made a triple. McConnell is the league's super thief this season, having twice produced 6 interceptions in a single game. Now he leads the league in interceptions with an average of 2.0 interceptions.
