Consistent ball movement without turnovers
Pacers 57 Jazz 47 at the half
Pacers are without Oladipo
For the season they are 23rd offense after a make, 17th after a miss and 4th after a turnover. Without Oladipo it is even more vital for the Pacers to get out and run
Pacers 71 Jazz 53 with 6:46 left in the 3rd quarter
Jazz defensive rating tonight is a 120 and the Pacers don’t have Oladipo
3rd game 4 night and 5th day of a trip but I would have thought the Jazz could build off their defense in Boston better than this
Pacers 77 Jazz 63 with 3:55 left in the 3rd quarter
No numbers to back this up but feels like every 50/50 ball tonight has gone to the Pacers
Pacers 102 Jazz 81 with 6:22 left in the 4th quarter
This will be the 7th night this year the Jazz defensive rating is over 117. Not sure why. There is a decent explanation for each one but collectively it is a bit surprising considering how great the defense was a year ago

Not sure what happened here but the Pacers were terrific and everything they do well they did very well.
