The roster was remade to give the Pacers more offensive punch, but it took hustle and defense to turn the tide in winning three games in a row.
Led by T.J. Warren’s game-high 26 points, the Pacers dominated despite missing frontcourt starters in Domantas Sabonis and Myles Turner on Sunday.
Coach Nate McMillan credited his team’s better spacing with only using one post player after Myles Turner sprained his right ankle Wednesday.
Jeremy Lamb had been out since injuring his hip in the opener but combined with Malcolm Brogdon, Domantas Sabonis and T.J. Warren to score 95 points.

The Pacers struggled with closing in the playoffs and those problems could resurface with Victor Oladipo still not available to play.
T.J. Warren and Malcolm Brogdon had shots late that could’ve put the Pacers on top for good, but they lost a four-point lead late in the fourth.
There’s not just a lack of communication with the Pacers on defense but lack of toughness without Thad Young, who left for Chicago in free agency.
The rebounding, 3-point defense and hustle weren’t good enough as the Pacers drop to 0-2 to start a three-game road trip.
