Live Thread: Cavs @ Pacers (#Physicality)

The Indiana Pacers are a tough team. They showed as much last season in the first round of the playoffs. Physicality is the name of their game, and they’ve shown it off this year as the stingiest defense to score on in the League allowing just 101.2 points per game. To accomplish this, they feature a strong mix of individual and team defenders. They average more than nine steals per game, with five players each having at least one per game. They also block over five shots per game, with more than half coming from C Myles Turner who leads the NBA with 2.
