Short seven players, six to injury, one to league suspension, the Indiana Pacers came through to pick up a win over the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Pacers got familiar contributions from Malcolm Brogdon and Caris LeVert, but it was the play of Oshae Brissett that put them over the top tonight.
Brissett not only scored a career high 23 points in 42 minutes of action, but played big as the tallest player on the roster for the Pacers tonight. Brissett had 12 rebounds (four offensive) and three blocks, his third coming late in the fourth, leading to a big four point swing in Indiana’s favor.
