The Indiana Pacers cruised to victory in the second half as the Boston Celtics couldn’t make a shot to get themselves back in the game. The Pacers kept the Celtics to 41.6% shooting in the game and 4 for 24 on 3-point attempts.
It may only be November, but it appears the Pacers have shaken off a slow start and might actually be a decent basketball team.
The Good: After trailing early in the third quarter the Indiana Pacers outscored the Boston Celtics 51-42 in the second half as Paul George and Jordan Hill led the charge. The Pacers kept the Celtics to 35.9% shooting in that time frame while shooting 55.6% while out rebounded them 21 to 6.
The Bad: Myles Turner injured his finger and had to leave the game. Candace Buckner said he’ll have it reevaluated in Indianapolis.

To be more precise, Myles Turner has a fracture in his THUMB. His left hand was wrapped as he left the arena. No timeline for being out yet

MVP: Paul George once again as he kept his streak of games with 25+ points going to five now. Honorable mentions to C.J. Miles and Jordan Hill for helping carry the weight tonight.
LVP: Evan Turner.
X-Factor: Chase Budinger is starting to come out of his shell as he went 4 of 7 on the night (1 of 2 fr 3-point range) while grabbing 3 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks in the game.
