CHICAGO — The Pacers ran up to the Windy City, pulled up on the Bulls and got the “W” 116-105 despite Zach LaVine dropping 43 on a boy. Indiana walked out of the joint with a win despite being extremely short handed.
They were without both Malcolm Brogdon (strep throat) and the double-double machine Domantas Sabonis (sore left knee).
However, the big homie Myles Turner showed up leaning in the ride with the seat laid all the way back bumpin’ tha Fat Joe “Lean Back” as he dropped 27 points and grabbed 14 rebounds.
His boyz jumped out of the ride and went to work too. Aaron Holiday came out of the back seat with 19, TJ Warren, who was fined 25 racks for acting a fool with Jimmy Butler on Wednesday night put up a smooth 17. Former Bull Doug McDermott gave them 16 and Edmond Sumner dropped off 10 on his way to Big Momma’s house.
Even without two key players the ball movement was NUTS again. Indiana finished the night with 31 assists. They shot extremely well from the floor too. They finished the night shooting 57 precent from the field. They shot 37 percent from behind the arc to improve to 24-15. Up next Philly on Monday.
