Thaddeus Young called “game”. After a beautiful dish from Victor Oladipo, Young banked another off the glass with 1:03 to go Friday night against the 76ers, giving the Indiana Pacers a healthy 110-99 lead.
This was a night that the Pacers struggled to find a rhythm offensively early, but Young was steady, reliable, and never frustrated. He finished with a 26/10/5 line. Thanks in no small part to Young’s effort, the Pacers are 19-10 and knocking on the door of second-place in the Eastern Conference.
Throughout his time as a Pacer, Young has been every bit of the “glue guy” that was advertised when he was acquired from the Brooklyn Nets in the summer of 2016.
