Evans Excited About Playoff Opportunity

Those who have watched the 1994 movie "Forrest Gump" might consider Tyreke Evans a one-man box of chocolates for the Pacers. You never know what you're going to get from him.

Take April, for example.

On the first day of the month, he started against Detroit at Bankers Life Fieldhouse and scored 13 points, hitting 4-of-6 3-pointers. Two nights later in Detroit, he scored six points in another start, hitting 1-of-13 shots. He followed that with a solid 12-point outing off the bench against Boston, adding seven rebounds. He then sat out Sunday's game against Brooklyn to rest a sore knee, but looked fresh as a starter in Wednesday's game in Atlanta, contributing 27 points on 9-of-14 shooting - including 5-of-8 3-pointers - along with five assists.
