After a slow start by both teams, the Pacers piled up 40pts on 64% shooting in the 1Q — including two spectacular Haliburton-Toppin connections.
It’s 40-24.
Pacers’ bench did their part with 18pts. – 8:12 PM

Pelicans are dragging like a team that played last night. It’s why the Pacers need to run. Just 16 points on 30% shooting to start for NO — and the Pacers have pulled ahead by 12 via an 11-2 run.
In what should be a physical, inside-heavy game, Turner already has 8/5. – 8:05 PM

Really rough shooting start for the Pels. They’re 6-20 from the field. Meanwhile, the Pacers are getting into the paint at will on the other end. – 8:04 PM

Tonight is the Pacers’ 5th national TV appearance. They were scheduled for one before the season, added three with the IST, then this one.
They’ve won 3 of 4 and are closing out a 4-game homestand before playing 10 of 15 games in March on the road. Down two rotational players. – 7:44 PM

Aaron Nesmith is out tonight. It’s been two weeks since he suffered a right ankle sprain, causing him to miss all 4 games on homestand.

When Indy hosted Super Bowl XLVI, they set a new standard to host with the SB Village.
The Pacers did the same at All-Star Weekend with the first-ever opening ceremony.

Jalen Brunson is questionable for tomorrow’s game vs GSW due to neck spasms, per Knicks. Isaiah Hartenstein is not on injury report, which means he should be available to play vs GSW. Brunson (neck) and Hartenstein (Achilles) both missed last night’s loss to NOP. – 5:40 PM

Still convinced Queta is the most likely #Celtics signing for the 15th spot. Would allow them to take another flier on a 2 way guy like they did with Matt Ryan in ‘22. No rush to do it. He still has NBA days left & he’s had injuries, but that remains my guess over Muscala, etc. – 2:53 PM

Hey, NBA fans, wonder why a triple-double in Europe is much more special than in the US? 🧐
Errick McCollum (@ErrickM3) gives a pretty good explanation, following an incredible Codi Miller-McIntyre’s performance:
