The Indiana Pacers became a focus of the mainstream NBA world after their preseason opener. Paul George’s comments on his dislike of playing the 4 caused quite a stir and had Pacers’ fans sweating profusely. But after George’s performance against the Detroit Pistons and his public statements since, fans can relax ever so slightly and realize there is still a lot left to transpire.
George cruised to a video-game like performance by putting up 32 points in 23 minutes while got off to yet another hot start by scoring 20 points in the first quarter. The Pacers overall looked more sharp than their previous outing and showed some positive strides in their victory.
