Pacers vs. Wizards recap: Myles Turner's force was strong in Indiana
The Indiana Pacers hosted the Washington Wizards on a special Star Wars night home game on Sunday. Myles Turner's cosplay of Kylo Ren served as a lucky charm for the Pacers as the force was strong in Indiana as the Pacers finished with a 115-103 victory over the Wizards.
Taking care of business for Indiana were Pascal Siakam and Tyrese Haliburton. Siakam put up a solid all-around performance adding 22 points, six rebounds, six assists and one steal. Haliburton, on the other, nearly had a double-double outing with 21 points, nine assists, four rebounds and two steals.
Five other Pacers players were in double figures to help the team win. These were Bennedict Mathurin (16 points), Moses Brown (15 points), TJ McConnell (12 points), Obi Toppin (11 points) and Myles Turner (10 points).
The Indiana Pacers did a fantastic job in keeping the Wizards under control. None of the Wizards players scored 20 points, which was one of the main factors they struggled to keep up with the Pacers.
