Myles Turner put to bed talks of Domantas Sabonis replacing him with a bounce-back game against the Miami Heat. His 25 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists, and 4 blocks served as a reminder that the Indiana Pacers’ future revolves around him.
The lack of confidence that permeated his previous eight games was nowhere to be found. Indiana made a point to feed him the ball as he only missed one of his 10 shots in the first half — a 3-pointer — and he ended the first half with 20 points.
Turner credited a visit from Victor Oladipo at 1 a.
