INDIANAPOLIS — Despite the Indiana Pacers being without starters Myles Turner (ankle), Domantas Sabonis (calf contusion) and obviously Victor Oladipo (knee) they were able to win their third straight game. They kept the Chicago Bulls at bay all time winning 108-95. The Blue and Gold started the season 0-3 and have now bounced back with three straight wins and six straight against the Bulls.
With boyz being snake bitten and banged up the starting unit looked a bit different on Sunday night. Nate McMillan had to be creative in putting a starting unit on the floor and boy did it work. He started Jakaar Sampson, TJ Warren, Goga Bitadze, Malcolm Brogdon and Jeremy Lamb. They jumped out of the ride in the middle of the street and didn’t look back. They took a 13 point lead into the break as TJ Warren scored 14 of his 26 points in the first half.
Malcolm Brogdon dropped off 22 points as TJ Leaf came off of the bench with a solid 13 points and 15 rebounds on his way to Big Momma’s house. Jeremy Lamb added 11 points for good measure.
Up next Pacers at Charlotte on Tuesday night!
