The Good: Rock solid defense. The Indiana Pacers imposed their will defensively and held the Clippers to their lowest scoring total in the Doc Rivers era (40 points below their 110 PPG scoring average). They forced the Clippers into 20 turnovers and 31% shooting. Surprisingly, the Pacers also dominated points in the paint (42-14) while shooting 20 fewer free throws.
This was a much-needed win to get back to .500 as a tough 5-game Western Conference road trip looms.
The Bad: The Pacers shot only 26% from three point range (5-19), but you can live with it when you hold your opponent to 16% shooting from three.
