What did Haliburton joke about?
The reporter mentioned that Haliburton had captured two records in Game 4.
The first record was the most assists in a conference finals game with no turnovers ever.
The other record was the most combination of points, rebounds, assists and steals with no turnovers in a game ever.

Haliburton responded to these two first-time occurrences saying, "I feel like we making up stats at some point to make me look better."
With it being just after the game and these being some obscure records to have, (at least the second one) Haliburton was laughing, knowing there was no chance he would have been aware of that just moments after the game.

The NBA has become a league with stats incorporated more and more into media and narratives, but it feels at times that a record is being searched for whenever a player plays well.
Haliburton finished with 32 points, 12 rebounds and 15 assists on no turnovers in a big Game 4 home win to go up 3-1 in the series.
The series will resume on Thursday in New York for Game 5, where the Knicks face elimination.
