He felt confident enough to say this after a blowout win against the division-leading Milwaukee Bucks. And why wouldn’t he? All-Star guard Victor Oladipo was effective in his limited return. Thad Young had his best game in a Pacers uniform. Turner himself had 23 points. In total, there were six Pacers in double figures, three double-doubles, and they held the league’s highest-scoring offense under 100 points. The win moved the Pacers to 18-10 on the year after their fifth straight win and propelled them into the home-court conversation.
According to Land of Basketball, this will be the 177th meeting in the regular season between the Philadelphia 76ers and the Indiana Pacers.
