The Cleveland Cavaliers didn’t have the services of a resting LeBron James, and it showed in the first lopsided game this season between them and Indiana Pacers. After the other meetings were decided by 5 points or less, Indiana won 123-109 thanks to a barrage of 3-pointers.
As a team, the Pacers were 16 of 31 (51.6%) from beyond the arc to go along with 45 of 80 (56.2%) from the field. While Paul George making 4 of 9 attempts from deep and C.J. Miles making 6 of his 8 aren’t surprising, Solomon Hill making 3 of 4 of his 3-point attempts were an indication that the Pacers were shooting well above normal.
