16.1 PPG Pacers scorer on Game 4 injury report vs. Bucks



The Indiana Pacers are currently gearing up for their Game 4 matchup against the Milwaukee Bucks, where they will look to take a commanding 3-1 lead back to Indiana. The Pacers fell victim to a red-hot shooting night from Gary Trent Jr. and several other Bucks players during their Game 3 loss on Friday evening, one that got Milwaukee back in the series after a rough start. The Pacers have had a relatively clean injury report for the first three games of this series, but that changed ahead of Sunday's Game 4, when it was revealed that guard Bennedict Mathurin would be questionable for the contest due to an abdominal contusion.

Pacers bounce back strong, roll past Bucks, now head to the 'House with chance to close out series

The Pacers showed up for Game 4 ready to make up for the mishap that was the second half of Game 3, with several key segments of the game that ended with the Pacers earning a wire-to-wire, 129-103 win to bring a 3-1 series lead back to the Fieldhouse for Game 5 on Tuesday evening. Myles Turner set the bounce-back tone early, scoring 7 points in just over 3 minutes to eclipse his Game 3 offensive output and he was nowhere near done for the night. While Turner started strong, he also had the signature play of the game with a late transition finish, dunking on the run through Giannis Antetokounmpo. Aaron Nesmith and Andrew Nembhard hit early threes and joined Turner in jump starting the Pacers attack at both ends of the floor.

Pacers beat Cavs to bring back 2-0 lead to the 'House, as road wins become communal celebration wherever fans watch



Feel free to find a breakdown of the Pacers 120-119, Game 2 win over the Cavs elsewhere. In a nutshell, the Pacers energy, effort and execution lagged far behind the short-handed Cavs to the tune of a 32-15 deficit after the first quarter. With Cleveland missing Darius Garland, Evan Mobley and De'Andre Hunter, the first impression the Pacers gave off was that of a team unable to handle success and seize an opportunity to take control of the series. You know, kinda like the Pacers of early December.
