It wasn’t the sort of game you’ll remember from Jeff Teague in a few weeks, but it was the sort of game where you remembered Teague is actually a very good basketball player.
Teague racked up 21 points, 6 assists, and a steal as the Indiana Pacers cruised past the same Chicago Bulls team that hammered them a week ago.
The difference between the Teague we saw Saturday and the one we saw in the season opener where he scored 20 points against the Dallas Mavericks— or his 16 in a loss to the Milwaukee Bucks — is this time Teague didn’t waste his shots.
