Pascal Siakam, the game's leading scorer (21), whistled for his fourth foul with 8:21 left in the 3Q. May have to play through it.
He has five 3s, one fewer than the Raptors. They haven't needed the outside shot as they're dominating inside.

Pacers trailing the Raptors 62-53 at the half. Siakam and Nembhard combined for 31 of IND's first 48pts.
It's the details and defense where they're really lacking. Need more from their inside play too, -20 in the paint.
Barrett, Quickley, Ingram all with 10+ pts.

Rick Carlisle not letting anything go tonight. He's called three timeouts after little things add up.
- steals for layups
- help slow to arrive
- sagging off a shooter
- yielding easy paint points
The standard is the standard — and they've got to meet it.

Nembhard has a great bounce in his step tonight -- against his home country. They're going to need a lot of that, especially in the next month.
He's 3/4 from 3, plus two assists when he read the defense and attacked -- then dished to the big.

Pacers down by 39pts to the Suns in the 4th and they’ve emptied the bench.
It’s been a rough week — headed for their fourth straight double-digit loss.
And just as a couple players return from injury, a new player goes out (Nesmith, left knee).

Rick Carlisle was encouraged by the 20-10 start, but — "from there, we just did not play well enough. 152 points is very disappointing."

An unacceptable performance from the Pacers, bad health or not. Didn't like a lot of what we saw.
They gave up 152pts on 55% shooting in a 152-128 loss to Utah. Nembhard had 25pts, McConnell with 12pts (in 11mins) in his season debut.

Return of two PGs has been impactful for the Pacers. McConnell & Nembhard have 12pts each, the offense is flowing, and get this: just one turnover.
Pacers got ahead by 10, but then the Jazz used a 21-8 2Q run to take the lead, now 70-57 at the half. Defense!

T.J. McConnell is set to make his season debut tonight at Utah. He missed the first 10 games of the season due to a left hamstring strain suffered in the preseason.
So both PGs are back — Nembhard & TJM — helping to restore some normalcy at point + with lineups.
