I wanted to open with some terrible 2019 pun and say something like “it felt like the Indiana Pacers hadn’t played in years!”. But then they looked like they hadn’t played in years. They looked rough.
They scraped by the Bulls in overtime and were able to find a way to win.
Find a way to win is the opposite of a euphemism. Victor Oladipo hit a clutch shot to secure the win for the Pacers down the stretch:
Masked Myles Turner made his debut, and he was not great. He fouled 4 times and was only able to stay on the floor for 25 minutes.
