Jeff Teague became the first Indiana Pacers player since Jamaal Tinsley to record at least 17 assists in a game. It has been awhile since someone in the blue and gold did it —Tinsley did it back in 2002.
Teague’s shot may not have been falling, he shot 2 of 13, but he made up for it with his passing. He was dropping dimes all night and had 9 assists in the first half. In fact, Teague had more assists than the entire Chicago Bulls team had on Friday night.
A lot have people have questioned whether or not the Pacers won the trade that got them Teague and sent George Hill to the Utah Jazz.
