Speed up the Pace
The Pacers found themselves down 2 at the half in last night’s Game 2 matchup, a position they didn’t want to be in, but the Pacers dominated the 2nd half and won 93-78. The Pacers won the battle on the boards in the 2nd half out rebounding the Magic 32-13 and was just more physical. The Magic are without their all-star center Dwight Howard, who lost a lot of respect from me this past season with his antics, but “Big Baby” Glen Davis been picking up the slack. The 6’9 forward played exceptional well against his 7’2 counterpart Roy Hibbert. Davis held Hibbert to only 4 points while he dropped 18 on the offensive end. But the star of the game was David West. West has been the outright leader for the Pacers this year, without him they might not have that 3rd seed. West scored 18 and grabbed 11 rebounds in last night’s game. Paul George was also big with his 17 buckets shooting 70% from the field. The Pacers are clearly the better team but the Magic are not going to lay down. With one win under their belt going back to Orlando, the Magic have an opportunity to go back to Indiana with a 3-1 lead in the series and really putting the Pacers in a bad spot but the Magic must win on the Home Court.
