Playoff Preview: Pacers can’t allow Kyle Korver to glow white

Related Topics: Kyle Korver, Indiana Pacers

Defending the 3-point line was a thorn in Indiana’s side throughout much of the 2016-17 regular season, but it’s been particularly bothersome against Cleveland’s Kyle Korver. Since joining the Cavaliers, the 36-year-old sharpshooter has connected on 48.5 percent of his shots from beyond the arc. In two games against the Pacers, his accuracy rate ballooned to a downright gaudy 82.4 percent (14-of-17), and his team outscored the Blue & Gold by an average of 25.9 points per 100 possessions with him on the floor.

He canned multiple 3s running off screens and shooting over the top of Aaron Brooks’ shorter frame (bang).
