NBA India Games 2019: Indiana Pacers vs Sacramento Kings - 3 Talking points from Game 2

#2 The Pacers are way better than we thought

Indiana possess the depth to make it big in the long run.

In the absence of Victor Oladipo, everybody was quick to count this side out. Even when they were trailing by 21 points in the first game, nobody believed a mighty resurgence was in store. Yet, they fly out of India with a couple of preseason wins and tons of confidence.

Indiana shot over 51% from three-point land in this game and over 52% overall from the field. Adding to their shooting spectacle was their free-throw efficiency, having made 17-of-18 where Sacramento missed nine freebies to their dismay.

Moreover, they outrebounded the Kings 51-35 and registered a mammoth total of 60 points in the paint in comparison to their opponent's 28 for the night. They led by as many as 30 points during the game after being down by 5 in the first period and showcased elite resilience as a collective unit.
