Pacers are playing drop big defense and Jazz have struggled with this
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
Pacers 121 jazz 94 Final Score
Not sure what happened here but the Pacers were terrific and everything they do well they did very well.
