The Indiana Pacers stopped a 3-game losing streak with an 111-92 win over the Atlanta Hawks and looked like a much better team than we had seen of late. There weren’t the late-game struggles the Pacers had grown accustomed to as they closed out the Hawks for a comfortable win.
The Good: Myles Turner didn’t look any different in a starting role than the other 23 games of his NBA career. He shot 9 of 17 for 20 points while gathering 6 rebounds, 1 assist, and 1 block. His defense will have to improve as he gets more experience, but he had a plus-minus of 10 on the night and more importantly, didn’t look overwhelmed.
