Myles Turner didn't really get around to celebrating his 21st birthday until Saturday, a day after the actual event. Out for dinner, he ordered some sort of drink with vodka in it, but the waitress didn't even ask for his identification, spoiling his first opportunity to prove his legal manhood.
Should he need ID in the future, he can just hand over video of the Pacers' 107-94 victory over Philadelphia on Sunday. He turned in a grown-man performance at Bankers Life Fieldhouse with 16 rebounds (matching the career high first established on the day he turned 20 last season), and added 17 points and two blocks in a bruising, efficient performance that he'll need to duplicate in the weeks ahead if the suddenly-depleted Pacers are to hang on to their spot in the playoffs.
