The Pacers commence a three-game road trip tonight in Phoenix, AZ. Though the star-studded Suns started the season off on a scorcher, they've since slowed, sitting just a smidge over .500 at 14-11.
Both teams have been hit or miss of late but are coming into the night on a two game win streak. Pheonix's offense is slightly more efficient than the Pacers' on account of their excellent ability to draw fouls and limit turnovers. On the other side of the ball, neither team puts up much resistance.
If there's something promising in the numbers above, it's that the Suns do not crash the offensive board particularly well, which should help the Pacers get out in transition.
At the same time, an up and down game might favor the Suns, so be careful what you wish for.
TJ Inducted to Ring of Honor
The team got a nice bonding experience when it attended a game at the University of Arizona to celebrate TJ McConnell's induction into the school's Ring of Honor.
“A special honor and something I’m grateful for, and grateful for everyone in the organization for coming.”
