Dissecting Bennedict Mathurin's start to the season and the Indiana Pacers top-rated offense
INDIANAPOLIS — Indiana used its quick pace and 3-point shooters to draw Utah’s defense away from the basket Wednesday night.Bennedict Mathurin and Myles Turner each added 22 and Indiana finished with 74 points in the paint as it pulled away for a 134-118 victory over the Jazz.
“The offense we play, how fast we play, it can be anybody on any given night,” Nesmith said. “It was just one of those nights.”The NBA's highest-scoring team has won three of four and topped 120 points in four straight games. Indiana had six players reach double figures again including Tyrese Haliburton, who had 16 points — all in the second half — and 13 assists. Jalen Smith posted his first double-double of the season with 16 points and 11 rebounds.
To compensate, first-year coach Will Hardy went with a three-guard lineup, giving two — rookie Keyonte George and Ochai Agbaji — their first starts of the season.“I thought we started the game well, helping our teammate who was guarding the ball,” Hardy said after Indiana made 13 3-pointers. “Then as the game went on, I thought the threat of the 3-point shot impacted our defense and we started creeping out closer and closer to our own man.
It was even worse over the final 13 minutes. Indiana scored the final six points of the third quarter to take a 101-98 lead and “Pretty much like I said, teammates just found me in the right spot,” Nesmith said. “And it's the offense we play all the time. I just took advantage.”Mark Williams scores 27 as Hornets rally to beat Pacers 125-124
