Pacers @ Jazz 1/15 9pm

[Pacers Forever]

Second night of a back to back. Should be a very competitive game and winnable if they defend Jazz’s shooters. Markkanen, Sexton, Clarkson, Kessler, Collins are a talented bunch.

Utah has figured it out since we last played them.

[Pacers Forever]

First meeting was at Indy 134-118 Pacers win.

Nesmith 24 points
Turner 22 points
Mathurin 22 points 9 rebounds
Smith 16 points 11 rebounds
Haliburton 16 points 13 assists 6 rebounds
Nembhard 9 points 7 assists
Brown 9 points

Disappointing stats
Hield 10 points on 4-16 and 2-12 from 3
Toppin 6 points
I Jax DNP
McConnell DNP


Lose Haliburton stats and currently Brown and Nesmith are game time decisions.

As the rotation was tight in November tonight I expect much better from Hield, Toppin, Jackson, and McConnell as they’ve been getting consistent playing time.

They absolutely have thus a tough competitive matchup tonight. I’m still hopeful of a close win.

This hurts a bunch.

McConnell didn’t play first game so he will cover Brown’s minutes and some defense output.

I really don’t think anyone can replace Nesmith’s defense or offense.

Jazz extended the lead to 64-50 at halftime after being ahead 6-8 points most of the half.

Pacers are having issues defending the bigs and not fouling. Both Turner and I Jax with 3 and Smith with 2.

Very hectic and sloppy play so far. Pacers losing on 15-6 fouls, rebounds 26-19, and FG % 53-40.

Have to play better defense second half or this becomes a 20 point loss.

[Wizop]

20 has come. Could be 30.

[Pacers Forever]

Unbelievable careless play by Myles to pick up foul 4 and 5 in first minute of the second half. Could have avoided the 5th.

[Pacers Forever]

Good move to sit Mathurin and not worsen his sprained ankle.

Isiah Jackson now out with sore back. Subs to the end.

Man the Pacers looked like crap tonight only the Eagles looked worse.

I wasn't able to watch tonights game, but this Jazz team is different then the team we played. Not sure what happened there, to be honest i dont even think ive seen one Jazz game besides our matchup earlier in the season but they're 15-4 after tonights win in their last 19 games. They have 8 wins in 2024, no team has more then 6. (Pacers actually have 6).

Good move to sit Mathurin and not worsen his sprained ankle.

Any update on Mathurin or Jackson?
