Indiana Pacers

The Indiana Pacers look to have moved on from their three-game skid as they have now won three of their last four games and will be feeling good following their 118-111 win over the Magic on Wednesday. Bennedict Mathurin led the team with 20 points and 11 rebounds on three-of-seven shooting, while Tyrese Haliburton, Pascal Siakam, Myles Turner, and Jarace Walker each scored 17 points. As a team, the Pacers shot 53 percent from the field and 12 of 26 from the 3-point line as they set the tone with 38 points in the first quarter to take the early lead, but they really couldn’t put the Magic away until the fourth quarter where they used a 13-3 run to pull away and improve to 4-4 on the season so far.

Charlotte Hornets

Meanwhile, the Charlotte Hornets have struggled so far as they’ve lost five of their first eight games, but they will be eager to build some momentum after outlasting the Pistons in a 108-107 home win on Wednesday. Miles Bridges led the team with 27 points on eight of 14 shooting, LaMelo Ball added 25 points with six rebounds and eight assists while Brandon Miller chipped in with 19 points, six rebounds, and four assists. As a team, the Hornets shot 43 percent from the field and 14 of 44 from the 3-point line as they went back and forth with the Pistons in a tight contest, until the last play of the game where the Hornets’ Brandon Miller made the game-winning tip shot at the buzzer to snatch the game from the Pistons.
