Pacers vs Wizards Game 3: Tweets of the Night
By Ben Gibson
The Pacers won an ugly, defensive battle in Washington on Friday night to take a 2-1 lead in the series. The lack of scoring was replaced by snark on Twitter.
First Quarter
Something seems different from just a few days ago…
Wizards looked to have a handle on the game early…
But…
Not that things were going any better for Indiana.
John Wall ends the 1st quarter with a bit of flair…
But there will always be critics.
2nd Quarter
Luis Scola get’s a tech, but protests his innocence.
With the Pacers trailing by 5, people begin to wonder if the old, bad Pacers are back.
But Washington’s offense was just as bad as Indiana’s.
And we do mean bad.
The terrible offense is interrupted by a master’s class in flopping by Drew Gooden.
Despite the horrors, Indiana takes a 34-33 lead into the half.
3rd Quarter
The Pacers decide that it would be easier to just shut down the Wizards offense than try actually scoring.
Washington fans are not entertained by this.
Indiana fans are quite fine with it.
4th Quarter
Life is being choked out of the Verizon Center.
Not that beauty can’t be found in a defensive showdown.
In lieu of points, there were jokes.
Reported, but not confirmed: George Hill has emotions.
Paul George hits a dagger three with… 3:34 mins to go?
Pacers win, but it wasn’t pretty
