Pacers hit franchise playoff best 22 3
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Indiana center Myles Turner found a simple lesson from last week’s Game 1 loss.
When you find the openings, take shots without hesitating.
Turner effectively put his new strategy to use Sunday night and it worked perfectly, again. He had his second straight 29-point game, finished with nine rebounds and four assists and made seven 3-pointers as the Pacers broke the franchise’s NBA playoff record with 22 3’s to beat Milwaukee 126-113 for a 3-1 lead in the best-of-seven series.
“After that first game, we watched a lot of film and I saw some of the holes in the defense and realized there were open shots we could exploit,” Turner said. “A lot of it is read and react, which is pretty much what our whole offense is.”
Turner’s play over the last two games has changed the series.
He has produced playoff career highs twice and on a team of sharp-shooters Sunday night might have been the best. While Indiana went 22 of 43 from beyond the arc, Turner was 7 of 9 and even heard his name chanted by fans who once thought he should be traded.
