The injury woes were no different for the Indiana Pacers in the first meeting of the season against the Orlando Magic.
Without the services of Jeremy Lamb, Myles Turner and Edmond Sumner once again, the Pacers looked to their bench in order to give the Magic a run for their money.
The Magic, led by Evan Fournier and Nikola Vucevic had a strong night shooting which hindered the Pacers’ ability to gain an edge throughout the contest.
With a roster of young talent, the Magic showed no backing down and forced the Pacers to play collectively through all four quarters.
