The Indiana Pacers just needed a win. The shadow of finishing the season without Victor Oladipo still loomed as their four previous losses marked the longest losing streak since 2017. But someone needed to step up as they took on the Miami Heat, and it turned out that person was Bojan Bogdanovic.
It was Bojan that contributed nearly a third of Indiana’s final score with 31 points on 13 of 19 shooting. He dropped in 9 of those from beyond the arc (3 of 7) but he also caused the Heat problems by attacking the rim.
