Pacers Links: Starting unit wins first game together

The Pacers starting unit reunited on the court for just the third time this season, if you count the first quarter in Brooklyn before Myles Turner sprained his ankle. The double-big group remains a work in progress, but they did have a quality stint against Memphis to open up the second half.

Starting with an 11-point lead, the first unit pushed the lead to as much as 22 over the first eight minutes before Justin Holiday subbed in with the lead at 19. The plus-8 run over extended minutes shouldn’t be a big deal against the young Griz team but the offensive nature of the run, scoring 25 points in 8 minutes was noteworthy.
