It wouldn't have been that big a deal under normal circumstances. But Myles Turner hasn't been operating within normal circumstances until lately.
Early in Wednesday's game against Utah, Turner took a pass from Victor Oladipo, threw a head fake at the rim, and muscled his way toward the basket for a layup that gave the Pacers a 10-4 lead. Over on the Pacers' bench at the opposite end of the court, Al Jefferson began standing up before Turner's shot even went up and let out a shout of approval.
That turned out to be the peak moment for the Pacers in their 20-point loss to the Jazz, but it wasn't the only positive development for Turner.
