What a night for the birthday boy.
On the day that Pacers media had to finally retire the “…and he’s still a teenager” line (although we still have one more year of “…and he still can’t legally drink yet”), Myles Turner gave us all a present as he led the team to a win against the deflated New Orleans Pelicans. Turner took his 20th birthday gift — a game against 8 Pelicans players with a combined average of 33.8 PPG — and turned it into one of his best performances of the season with 24 points on 11 of 17 shooting, 16 rebounds, and 3 blocks.
