Post-Game Grades: Pacers Rediscover Defense and End 3-Game Losing Streak

Coach Frank Vogel had to be enduring some sleepless nights lately with his team playing some of the worst defense in the league the last three games. It all came to a head when the Golden State Warriors put up 79 in the 1st Half on Tuesday night. Hopefully, those days are over and we can all get back to normal now. Tonight, the Miami Heat didn’t score 79 points until midway through the 4th quarter and did next to nothing the rest of the way. The Pacers forced 19 turnovers including 12 steals (4th in the league overall) and suffocated Miami all game long.
