The Indiana Pacers signed Garrison Mathews to another 10-day contract on Monday, and he didn't take long to make a notable impact.

In Indiana's loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers, the 29-year-old recorded 15 points on 3-for-3 shooting, one rebound, an assist, and a steal in 25 minutes off the bench. This was far and away Mathews' best game in a Pacers uniform, and it may be just what he needed to prove that he can be a legitimate contributor on the team.
