Paul George and the Indiana Pacers welcomed the Bucks to the Hoosier State rudely on Hickory night, and won every quarter en route to a 104-89 victory.
The Good: Start to Finish. The Pacers won every quarter, and seemed to respond every time the Bucks thought about starting a real run.
The Bad: Letting Mirza Teletovic hit 5 3’s isn’t great. At least one was tightly contested, but Mirza seems to adore shooting in the field house.
MVP: Paul George. On a night where 6 Pacers scored 10 or more points, his offensive heroics weren’t required, but he played efficiently and under control his whole time on the floor.
LVP: Greg Monroe. 4 points and 4 turnovers in 18 minutes, finished a ghastly -22. Maybe he should be the Pacers MVP instead
