The Indiana Pacers fans love Lance Stephenson, and Lance Stephenson loves them back. Toronto Raptors fans, not so much. In the last three games, he is made that easier than ever.
Stephenson is averaging 17.3 points, shooting 65.5% from the field and 63.6% from deep. Throw in 7.7 rebounds and 3.3 assists a game, and you’ve got The Good Lance. We know those numbers will settle back toward his 7.8 points and 5.6 rebounds averages, as well as a more reasonable 42.5% field goal percentage, but this version of Lance Stephenson is playing like a 6th Man of the Year.
