Pacers have gotten too relaxed, turning it over on three of their last four possessions as the Hornets take a dent out of their deficit. Need to refocus and get back to what was working.
Also, Kelly Oubre Jr. might have the loudest “AND-1” scream I remember this year. Every time – 8:02 PM

Pacers are so close to having as many FTAs (24) as the Hornets have points (29). Didn’t expect to watch so much FT shooting tonight.
Pacers getting whatever they want… – 7:52 PM

This Hornets defense has let so many guys get behind them. Pacers have 10 of their 14 buckets in the paint and they’ve been easy ones. – 7:48 PM

The Hornets attempted nearly 2x as many FGs as the Pacers, sent IND to the line 16x while allowing them to shoot 75% from the field.
A pitiful quarter for them.
Pacers up 40-22, their first lead after the 1Q in four games. – 7:44 PM

With members of Aaron Nesmith’s family making the 3hr drive from Charleston to Charlotte for the game, here’s a story from my summer visit to Charleston to retrace the moment Aaron learned he was traded: BOS->IND:

That’s some kind of take by Oshae Brissett. Spin move and everything. There’s a guy who got moved to the end of the bench, hung in there and came out stronger at the end of it. – 7:39 PM

Looks like Svi Mykhailuk is in the rotation ahead of Bryce McGowens this evening.
In other news, Brissett continues his heater against the Hornets… I swear he’s out the rotation in Indy and then comes in and torches Charlotte every time. – 7:35 PM

Pacers with a double-digit lead already in Charlotte. Isaiah Jackson was the first big off the bench, but now Jalen Smith is also in. So it’s a chance to see them run together with McConnell at the point. – 7:32 PM

Jalen McDaniels is about to check in for the Sixers. Let’s see if he’s moving a bit better than he was Saturday coming off that hip bruise. Was still clearly bothering him in that Pacers game. – 7:23 PM

Pacers start the game getting a stop and making all five shots while, most importantly, playing at their speed.
Raced ahead to a 15-5 lead on Charlotte, a team that’s lost 7 of their last 9 games. – 7:18 PM

On his pre-game interview with @PacersJJ Carlisle says it’s remarkable that Mathurin is back as fast as he is. Says he’s a guy who loves to play and doesn’t like to visit the training room, even socially. – 6:55 PM

Will LaMelo wear ankle braces next season due to his latest injury? That’s to be determined. In the meantime, he has a method to increase his calcium levels.
“My pops always had us drinking milk to keep your bones strong. So cookies and milk every night.”

In his first comments since being injured, LaMelo Ball gave an update on a potential recovery timetable, what he initially thought after going down, if he’ll consider ankle braces and what he thinks about the #Hornets.
“I love it here,” he said.
