After getting their doors blown off on Thursday by the Phoenix Suns. The Indiana Pacers found a way to bounce back on Saturday against the No.1 seed in the West, the LA Lakers, with a 116-111 win. They are now 4-1 since arriving in the bubble.
Playing without Domantas Sabonis due to a foot injury and Victor Oladipo still trying to find some consistency Indiana has found lethal scorer in TJ Warren.
Warren is proving to the world that he isn’t a fluke as he continues to shoot the lights out of the gym. Ole boy dropped 39 points on 15-22 shooting against the Lakers to carry the Blue and Gold to victory.
Since the Pacers have arrived in the bubble Warren has been averaging 34.8 points per game which currently leads the league in the bubble. He’s shooting 60.5 percent from the field and 55.6 percent from three!!! That means he’s dangerous getting out of bed right now. Boyz are trying to guard him eating breakfast.
With only three games left before the Pacers begin their playoff run Nate McMillan has these cats purrin’ like hungry kittens. If Vic can somehow find his rhythm it’s going to be fun to watch.
Malcolm Brogdon finished with 24 points as Victor Oladipo dropped off a solid 22 points. They were the only other Pacers in double figures.
Indiana shot a crazy 53 percent from the field and 46 percent from three-point range.
LeBron did what LeBron does as he finished with 31 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists. However, Anthony Davis struggled from the floor finishing with 8 points shooting 3-14 from the field. Quan Cook had 21 points and Kyle Kuzma dropped off 11 for the Lakers.
Up next Miami on Monday.
