11:41 — Starting off with a bunch of the actions getting blown up initially, leading to a late clock. Ends with a Herro-Adebayo empty PNR → under + rescreen then Herro gets a show → Bam on the short roll with Pascal already helping early in the paint off Ware and goes for the open pu 2pt
10:57 JJJ not taking the shot vs Turner but he does a good job attacking the closeout and gets to the rim
10:36 Bam had a cross match vs Nesmith but no one thought to reset and it ends with a Herro PNR going for a long floater
9:44 Quickly going into a JJJ ISO post vs Hali with the whole side cleared → He is drawing the double from Nesmith off Davion one pass away but then it’s so easy to recover because Pascal is ignoring Ware and Turner can help inside because Bam is just standing in the corner. Once the kick is made, smooth rotations with no advantage → Herro does bail out with the 3pt foul
9:03 Herro-Davion pistol handoff into a Ware PNR but then he’s going to a strongside with JJJ and Bam in the corner. He does make the kick to Bam in the corner but the paint is so packed that this is the only choice
8:25 Herro-Adebayo quick empty PNR but I didn’t like this shot selection at all. Going up for a contested pull up with 20s on the clock is a choice; Haliburton was also helping off Davion one pass away(that will be key later)
I don’t like the spacing at all playing Ware/Bam/JJJ together
6:20 play for Bam with the cross screen from Ware but then as he drives baseline, Nesmith doesn’t care about JJJ at all and is looking to help in the paint even as JJJ lifts up. Bam also goes for a fading shot
5:08 Davion-Herro-Ware double PNR; Herro kind of just ghosts the screen and that causes confusion with the potential switch & Davion gets a good drive which forces Bryant to step up and opens up Ware on the lob
4:30 Davion hub → with Herro/Duncan/Ware on the other side looking to come off screens. Toppin panicked when Ware got near Duncan and that allowed Duncan to have a perfectly clean cut to the rim; Good find from Davion. There’s also no help from the corner by Nesmith off of Haywood
3:30 Herro-Ware-Duncan Spain PNR. The Pacers defended that well with the switch and also the early help off Davion from the far corner onto Ware rolling. He would’ve a clean look because of the slip. I don’t like how they didn’t get a clean look out of that with some of the poor spacing with Haywood/Davion in the corner
2:58 Davion brings ball → Duncan instantly coming off a screen from Ware. Haliburton wasn’t paying attention and wasn’t glued so that’s a wide open 3pt
