Wonderful Day for Pi: The Best Indiana Pacers Performances on Pi Day
By Ben Gibson
So who had the best winning performance on Pi Day for the Pacers?
That honor goes to Rik Smits, who scored 28 points and grabbed 7 rebounds in Indiana’s win over the Boston Celtics in 1999. He went 10 of 21 on the day and was the third Pacer on this list to have a perfect night from the line, going 8 of 8 in that game.
Reggie Miller’s best Pi Day was in 1997 —‚23 points — in a loss to the Utah Jazz. That game also saw the greatest performance against the Pacers on Pi Day as Karl Malone scored 38 points.
In case you were wondering, Paul George made the top 10 Pacers Pi Days, scoring 25 points while handing out 6 assists and grabbing 4 rebounds in a win over the Philadelphia 76ers in 2014. George went 9 of 15 on field goal, 4 of 7 from deep, and 3 of 4 from the line that night.
It puts him in 8th on the Pacers Pi Day list.
