The Indiana Pacers got back on track in the NBA 2K23 Summer League, putting away the Detroit Pistons early to improve to 2-1 in Las Vegas. The Summer Pacers played a tight rotation, getting all 78 points through the first three quarters from the seven guys Indiana expects to have on the roster come the regular season.
It was the opposite story for the Pistons, sitting nearly all of their top guys, giving the Pacers ample opportunity to pile on Detroit throughout the night. Indiana took full advantage, holding the Summer Pistons under 30% shooting in the first half, while themselves comfortable converting over 50% of their attempts, limiting the Pistons to 11 first quarter points and 30 for the first half.
