The Indiana Pacers move to 2-0 in the Orlando Summer League after defeating the Charlotte Hornets. Indiana picked up six of the eight available points, pushing ahead for good in the second quarter, thanks in large part to Trey McKinney-Jones, who had seven of his nine points in a 10-2 run that put Indiana ahead for good.
Wins are nice in any setting, but much of today was focused on the debut of the Pacers’ first round draft pick T.J. Leaf. Leaf started slow, but began to settle into the game in the second quarter, finishing with 12 points and five rebounds in 24 minutes, hitting a corner three.
