Watch: Tyrese Haliburton makes unimaginable assist off the glass

Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton continues to play like an artist on the hardwood. The ball is his paintbrush and the court is his canvas.

Haliburton served up another masterpiece on Saturday in a 125-111 win against the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden.

The Pacers led the Knicks 69-64 about four minutes into the third quarter. Haliburton shook Knicks wing Josh Hart with a pump fake from the top of the key. But the All-Star guard had already given up his dribble, which would have normally meant that he needed to either shoot or pass.

Instead, Haliburton got creative. He fired a pass to himself off the glass and then immediately dished it to an open Pascal Siakam in the corner for a three.

The off-the-glass pass is usually finished off with a slam. But Haliburton made the move his own with a unique twist on the play.

Haliburton finished the contest with 12 assists, which is right around his league-leading season average. He also had 20 points on 6-of-13 shooting with four made three-pointers — including a fun one to beat the third-quarter buzzer.
