Peak Reke: Tyreke Evans (and the bench) saved the Indiana Pacers

Normally, if Victor Oladipo isn’t scoring, the Indiana Pacers are in trouble. But against the Miami Heat with their star and most of their starters struggling, we saw how Tyreke Evans and the rest of the bench can provide insurance for those off nights.

Evans posted a double-double with 23 points and 10 rebounds while shooting 6 of 13 from the field (46.2 percent) but more impressively 5 of 7 (71.4 percent) from deep. This is the Evans the Pacers were hoping for when they signed him. The long-range shooting and aggressively attacking version of himself.
