The Indiana Pacers grabbed their first win of the season against the NBA’s upper echelon Wednesday night. Sporting their new city uniforms for the first time, the men in blue and white turned the corner in the middle of the second quarter and cruised to a 121-102 victory. The Jazz were able to cut into the lead several times, but each instance resulted with the Pacers responding with a run of their own.
Starting the season with a relatively easy schedule, the Pacers actually lost their first two match-ups against the league’s elite teams, back-to-back to the Houston Rockets then Milwaukee Bucks.
