There are some nights when you’re going to make 67 percent of your shots from the field, then there are others when you’re going to miss 66 percent of your shots from the field. Against the Oklahoma City Thunder, the Indiana Pacers shot the later. Even with the lackluster shooting numbers, it still was an oddly encouraging night for these young Pacers.
In the Pacers’ first four games, Indiana either shot over 50 percent and won or shot under 50 and lost. While that’s great and all, as evident by this game, you’re not going to shoot an incredible percentage every game, or even in half of them.
