After a great Game 4 performance by Tyrese Haliburton against the Knicks, statistic gurus found a ton of historic statlines that Haliburton produced Tuesday night.

Much of it had to do with the fact that he had such an incredible performance despite not turning the ball over.

Specifically, Tyrese's playmaking was quite impressive, as he had 15 assists and no turnovers.

How does Haliburton's historic night relate to the NFL?

As a facilitator and point guard, Haliburton can be compared with the quarterbacks of the NFL world because of some similarities they have.

Sportradar put out an interesting graphic that showed some of the best NFL QB single game performances without a turnover.

To compare Haliburton's game to some of the greats, they put him on the list with his stats from last night.

The graphic shows pass attempts and passing yards, which they were able to get data from Game 4 and put where Haliburton would land on the list.

Haliburton had 77 passes last night for 444 yards.

As a QB, that statline would have put him third all-time for that many yards and no turnovers.

Who are the two players ahead of Haliburton? Tom Brady and Drew Brees.

Brees once had a game with 43 pass attempts for 466 yards, and Brady is in first all-time with 505 yards on 48 pass attempts.

It's a similar concept and this graphic puts into perspective how good of a night Haliburton had.
