The Indiana Pacers are firmly back in the top half of the NBA in this week’s power rankings, mostly thanks to Paul George.
With four straight games with 30+ points (and a 3-1 record in that time), the Pacers are starting to shake off their mediocrity, for now.
Beating the Houston Rockets and shutting down James Harden was the most notable win of the three, with the other two wins coming against the Sacramento Kings and Minnesota Timberwolves. The lone loss came to the New York Knicks.
However, the most remembered thing from the last week will be Paul George bouncing the ball off Clint Capela’s head on a dunk.
