Another glowing performance from Myles Turner. 23-8-4-3b — his third straight game with at least 22 points and three 3s.
Fans in The Fieldhouse now chanting his name. – 9:11 PM

Pacers do what they do … another special 3Q.
It was a five-point game, then they went on a 14-2 run keyed by Myles Turner at both ends.
They were +10 and now are one solid quarter away from a 3-1 series lead. 98-85. – 8:55 PM

Myles Turner is as fired up as I’ve ever seen him. And for good reason.
A one-handed throw down, block then 3-pointer in a span of 28 seconds.
And Doc Rivers uses his third timeout in 8mins. – 8:48 PM

Bucks had to call a quick timeout after Khris Middleton came up hobbling. But he remained in the game.
He tweaked his left ankle after Myles Turner came down on it. That won’t feel good, regardless. – 8:32 PM

“I let my ego go a long time ago,” Turner said of trying to make an impact on both ends of the floor. “I never really asked to be ‘the guy’ … I understand we have two all stars, two elite high-level offensive players. Offensively, I try to make my own breaks and for a lack of better words ‘get in where I fit in’ … Defensively, I know that’s where I make my money, that’s where I hang my hat. Just being active, being a mobile big not just a rim protector, being able to cover the floor, cover everybody. I take a lot of pride in being a 2-way player, a modern big if you will.” -via iPacers.com / April 28, 2024
