Two non-consequential games in and the Pacers look poised to continue where they left off. Their starters, minus Thaddeus Young, only played in one game and none of them played more than 25 mins. During this small sample size there were no signs of players being out of shape. More importantly, there doesn’t seem to be any fraying in the chemistry.

There isn’t a ton to read into after both preseason games so instead I just wanted to talk about some of the best highlights from Edmond Sumner and Aaron Holiday.
