The Indiana Pacers win it’s second straight game on a road trip to Orlando on Friday night 111-106. Led by Aaron Holiday’s 20 points off of the bench the Pacers seemed to by find a rhythm that worked.
Holiday jumped out of the ride on fire making six of the Pacers 11 3-pointers. He knocked down his first four three-point attempts to get the party started. He finished 6 of 10 from downtown. NUTS!!
He’s just the spark the Pacers need after scoring a season best 22 points in a win over Minnesota earlier this week.
“I’m not used to having great games, but I’m used to shooting the ball and making buckets, and I hold myself to a high standard,” said Holiday, who has made 13 of his last 19 3-point shots. “When I’m really mad is when I have really bad games. I had four turnovers today and that was just me making dumb plays.”
Doug McDermott was fire off of the bench too finishing with 19 points.
It was great to see Domantas Sabonis back in the lineup after missing three games due to a sprained left ankle. Ole boy dropped off 16 points, 15 rebounds and 6 assists.
Edmond Sumner had 12 and both Caris LeVert and Malcolm Brogdon contributed 11 apiece in the win.
For the second straight game the Pacers were without the NBA’s leader in blocked shots, Myles Turner, due to a left ankle sprain.
Hamilton Southeastern grad, Gary Harris, who was traded from Denver to Orlando made his debut scoring 8 points. It was his first time seeing action since Feb. 17 because of an adductor strain.
Indiana travels to Memphis on Sunday.
