Sure, Paul George missed most of the second half, but Indiana shouldn’t have had so much trouble against an injury-plagued roster our new writer Ryan Eggers described as “an equal amount of suits and jerseys”.
The bright side of the game, however, was Myles Turner going off for 24 points and 16 rebounds, one of the best performances in his rookie season.
The rookie led all players in rebounds and points, but it was also a bounce back game for C.J. Miles who scored 19 points on 7 of 14 shooting, including 3 of 8 from beyond the arc.
