The Pacers have been up and down as well as injury-challenged in 8 games, but they were clicking on the perimeter yesterday.
They shot 46 threes, made 21 (46%), 63 points
They shot 42 twos, made 24 (57%), 48 points
21-25 on FTs
132-121 win over the Knicks
Mathurin 7-9 on 3s, 38 pts
Turner 5-8, 26 pts
Hali 4-10 with 14 assists, 35 pts
Nice to see shooters shoot and the ball not sticking, while realizing that some days they aren't going to fall like that.
Plus just 6 turnovers while pushing the tempo.
They were without three rotation players (Nesmith, Nembhard, Toppin) and their two backup centers are out for the year with achilles tears. Some of the youngsters seem to play a better brand of D, though.
