On Saturday, a few short days before the Pacers acquired Caris LeVert from the Brooklyn Nets as part of a four-team deal that sent Victor Oladipo to the Houston Rockets, a milestone came and went without any fanfare. With just under eight minutes to play in the first quarter, Malcolm Brogdon caught the ball on the right wing and made a quick swing pass to his left to Victor Oladipo for three. While nothing fancy in terms of vision, strength, or difficulty, the plain jane pass resulting in a made basket marked the 23rd time in nine games that Indiana’s back-court duo had assisted each other, already matching last season’s total.
