Tony East @TonyREast
Pacers win 111-97. Big win over a team close to them in the standings, and a team that has given them fits all year. 97 is the fewest points the Pacers have allowed in a game all season.
Siakam and Haliburton with 20 pts each. 17 each for McConnell and toppin. Pacers are 36-29. – 8:31 PM

Two completely different halves with the Pacers controlling the 2nd in a 111-97 win in Orlando. They kept the Magic to 21 and 26 points in the 3rd and 4th, respectively.
McConnell + Toppin played big roles off the bench (17pts each) and they won the paint.
Next: Tue. at OKC. – 8:31 PM

Still frustrated by being called for traveling, Haliburton is whistled for his first technical foul of the season. Pacers are up by 10 with 4:45 left. – 8:20 PM

McConnell and Toppin have been massively impactful to the Pacers’ play. They were there early when points were hard to come by — and now they’re leading the charge once more.
17pts each and the Pacers lead by 16. – 8:12 PM

From down 15pts in the 2Q to up 15 through three quarters… another strong 3Q as the Pacers have come to life and playing free. They badly needed a quarter like that.
They outscored the Magic 39-21 and have a 18-0 adv. in fast break points. – 7:58 PM

That was a rough first half for the Pacers, and it wasn’t much better by the Magic.
They’ve never led, but trail by just 3: 50-47.
Siakam has 13pts and McConnell with 10. Pacers were just 1 for 11 from range in the first half. Outrebounded by 9. – 7:15 PM

The Pacers’ vibe continues to be off…
McConnell has 10pts, two more than the team’s starters combined.
They’ve managed just 22pts in the first 16mins in Orlando. – 6:52 PM

I think TJ McConnell can play 20 seasons. Supposedly his style of play is obselete b/c he doesnt shoot 3s, but yet to see anyone make him unplayable. Got 8 pts in 1st on 4 of 5 shooting b/c teams must not discuss covering him at all and theyre surprised he’s playing #MagicPacers – 6:39 PM

One thing I left out: Toronto’s pick from Siakam deal now looking better than it did on trade day. Landing in 14-18 range seems very much in play.
