Jordan Nwora ties Reggie Miller's record with 25 points in 2nd quarter of Pacers vs. Hawks

After not scoring in the first quarter during an Indiana Pacers road matchup against the Atlanta Hawks, Jordan Nwora caught fire.

Nwora tied Reggie Miller's record for most points in a single quarter with 25 points on Saturday. (The Pacers records for points in a quarter go back to 1996-97.) On June 1, 1994, the Pacers trailed the Knicks by 12 points entering the fourth quarter of Game 5 of the 1994 Eastern Conference Finals when Miller scored 25 points to lead the Pacers to a 93-86 victory that gave the Pacers a 3-2 series lead. Miller scored 39 in the game.

Heading into the second half, Nwora is 9 of 11 from the floor and 3 of 4 from 3-point range. Nwora, who went 4 for 4 from the free throw line, also has 4 rebounds and an assist.

The Pacers traded for Nwora in February.
