McConnell amassed 20 points (9-14 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 10 assists, three rebounds and three steals over 41 minutes during Tuesday's 116-110 win over the Bulls.
McConnell was one of four Pacers players to score 20 or more points, and he led the team in assists en route to finishing with his second straight double-double performance. The point guard rounded out the solid showing on the offensive end with three steals, one short of a season high. With averages of 15.6 points, 8.5 assists, 5.5 rebounds, 1.9 steals and 0.9 three-pointers in 28.8 minutes per game while shooting 62.8 percent from the floor and going 12-for-12 from the free-throw line over his last eight outings, McConnell has established himself as a must-roster player in every format for as long as Tyrese Haliburton (knee) is sidelined.
