I watched Spurs-Bulls tonight because I pretty much pick Wemby every time I can. He hit a go-ahead 3 in the final 30 seconds and it has been like... the 5th best game of the night so far?

T.J. McConnell upgraded to questionable (left hamstring strain) for Pacers-Jazz. He is now eligible to return with Jeremiah Robinson Earl’s 10-day deal expiring.

Today, yapping about Pacers-Warriors. 83 points? In the 2025 NBA? Yikes. But, obviously, half the team was out. Still, a dreadful game for Walker, and a better one for a few others. Siakam rests, eh?

Hate to do this after every game. Anyways.
That was the Pacers worst FG% in a game since April 19, 2021. Third time below 34.5% in the 2020s.

Pacers led 62-61 with 16:05 left in this game. Those final 16 minutes? 53-21 Warriors. Horrible close for the Pacers. They're 1-9 and fall in the Chase Center for the first time. Final: 114-83 Warriors.
Pacers: 34% from the field. Can't make a thing. 21 turnovers.

Dennis, Peter, Robinson-Earl, Martin, Huff right now.
RayJ Dennis, signed in January, is the fifth longest-tenured Pacer available today.

Every Pacers blowout (and this game might be trending that way) has been a tight game in the third quarter that gets away from the Pacers very quickly.

Pacers with 5 points in the final 5 minutes of the third quarter. They went from up 62-61 to down 75-65. Pacers missed 4 shots from 7 feet and in during that stretch. Crucial few minutes. Pacers shooting 33.8%.

Tony Bradley is the pair of comfortable, dirty shoes you've had for years. Realiable, always getting use, can't wear them with every outfit but kinda wish you could.

The Pacers — yes, these Pacers — are suddenly hot with jumpers and this game is tied at 53.

Just needed the half to flip.
Really, really tough time from the three-point line for Andrew Nembhard in his few games this season.

7 points in the final 5:21 of the half for the Pacers, with 5 of them coming in the final 35 seconds. It's 48-41 Warriors at halftime. Pacers shot 34% and are led in scoring by Isaiah Jackson and Monte Morris with 8 each.

5 points in a row for Monte Morris and the Pacers lead. This bench group has dodged some bullets in terms of Warriors jumpers, but they've defended well.

A dart of a cross-court pass and a strong take into contact on his very next possession.
Jarace Waker not responding well to defensive pressure early, and he's had some uglier passes.

Warriors take a timeout as the Pacers cut their deficit to 4 at 15-11. Both teams currently a combined 9/30. Ugly start. Pacers getting good denfense minutes from their bench.
