Haliburton scored 18 points in the third quarter, including 16 straight, to finish with 28 points in Saturday's win.
Tyrese Haliburton's 3-point barrage and the Pacers' full-court pressure helped Indiana beat the Spurs by 38 in Paris after Thursday's 30-point loss.
Wemby’s first NBA game in France was a smashing success, as he went off for 30 points in the Spurs’ 140-110 win over the Pacers.
A top prospect in the 2026 NBA Draft is already thinking about teaming up with Victor Wembanyama on the San Antonio Spurs.
To go along with a 140-110 win, the 7'3" 21-year-old center was a highlight reel machine. In 32 minutes of play, Wembanyama pulled off a self-alley-oop from just inside the free-throw line, dished out another to his teammate Jeremy Sochan, played lock-down defense, and was the Spurs' leading scorer on the afternoon.

The main events start Thursday when Wembanyama and the Spurs take on the Indiana Pacers in the first of two games in Paris. The rematch is Saturday, both happening at Accor Arena, the same building where Wembanyama played in the knockout round of the Paris Olympics last summer when he and France wound up losing to the U.S. in the gold-medal game.
Thursday's game was proof of concept. Wembanyama will soon be the NBA's signature star, and sending him to Paris for a few games every year is a chance to build one of these signature events around his growing fame and eagerness to please his hometown audience. His presence made all of the difference on Thursday.
If Thursday was a wild celebration of the NBA in Paris, Saturday was a muted one as Indiana's two-time All-Star Tyrese Haliburton quelled the partisan crowd.
On Thursday, in the first of two NBA games played in Paris, the Indiana Pacers fell to the San Antonio Spurs by 30 points. On Thursday, they returned the favor, winning 136-98.
The final tally for Victor Wembanyama's trip in Paris: two games, 50 points, 23 rebounds, eight assists, six blocks, two courts dedicated, one trip to the Eiffel Tower, a Fashion Week appearance, a Champions League match attended and about a million high-fives.
