When you have a team that is not performing up to its sun shiney self, you are supposed to bury them and make sure that they don’t come back on you, which was what the Pacers did on Wednesday night at Bankers Life Fieldhouse. After playing in San Antonio against the Spurs this last Sunday night, jeremiahboyce.com had one question: How would the boys in blue and gold play at home against the Phoenix Suns after playing five road games in eight days and coming away with three wins with one of those wins being against the Suns?
Wednesday’s game was never in doubt as the Pacers were dominant from the opening tip in a 116-101 victory. The Pacers were led by the play of Victor Oladipo, who scored 20 points with a game high nine assists after being named an All-Star reserve player on Tuesday for the first time in his NBA career. Thaddeus Young led the Pacers in scoring with 22 points on the evening.
Pacers play by play man Mark Boyle announced the game without the help of analyst Bob “Slick Leonard” who was missing in action for reasons not known. Boyle was joined by pre game host Pat Boylan for the broadcast of the game.
