Victor Oladipo finally showed signs of life and the Indiana Pacers again benefited from a well-rounded team effort, giving them a nice taste of revenge against a Charlotte Hornets team that torched them back in November. In that game, the Hornets shot 18-29 from three point range and tallied 105 points through three quarters in the rout, leaving little chance for the Pacers, who saw the game slip away quickly in the third quarter.
It was a game largely decided four minutes in despite Indiana’s best attempt to weather Charlotte’s shooting in the second quarter.
