The Good: Aggressiveness. The Indiana Pacers relentlessly attacked the paint all night, which led to 41 free throw attempts and 31 fouls called against the Phoenix Suns. Indiana has had 35 or more free throw attempts in each of the last four games.
Also, the Pacers out-rebounded the Suns 49-40, including three huge offensive rebounds in the last four minutes to effectively seal the game.
The Bad: Turnovers. It’s been a problem at times this year, but the Pacers were utterly careless with the ball in the first half with 12 turnovers. They took better care of the ball after the break, but 18 turnovers is too many on most nights.
