The Pacers flirted with disaster on Saturday but didn’t manage to lose to the Philadelphia 76ers in an 115-102 victory.
Indiana replaced Myles Turner in the starting lineup with Lavoy Allen, but it didn’t last long as the 76ers went small ball to counteract their former teammate’s presence That prompted Frank Vogel to use Solomon Hill even more than he has recently, as Solo played more minutes that Allen, Ian Mahinmi, and Turner on Saturday.
But it was C.J. Miles that proved to be the hero in Philadelphia with 25 points on 9 of 14 shooting, including 5 of 9 from 3-point range and 2 of 2 from the foul line.
