The Indiana Pacers opener against the Nets featured a wide variety of things to watch, and it was certainly entertaining. Counting stats were there to be had for everyone because neither team bothered too much with the defensive end of the floor. Despite Brooklyn’s token full court press and Dan Burke’s resume, these two teams combined for 204 points through 3 quarters and never slowed down.
The much-maligned Paul George trade brought 2 players back from Oklahoma City — Victor Oladipo and Domantas Sabonis. Those two shined bright in their Pacers debut, combining for 38 points on 13 of 19 shooting.
