The Pacers led by as many as 42 points in their 129-105 victory over the Nets, but more importantly, they clinched a spot in the postseason with two games remaining on the schedule.
Myles Turner had plenty of time coming off the bench to do damage as he led Indiana with 28 points while grabbing 10 rebounds and blocking two shots. George Hill was 6 of 10 from the floor for 18 points followed by Ian Mahinmi’s 16 points.
Paul George played only 22 minutes in the rout — scoring 15 points on 5 of 9 shooting — to allow him to rest his injured ankle once the game wasn’t in doubt.
