A cursory glance would’ve told you the Hornets (-2) and Pacers played a regular NBA basketball game in Indianapolis on Wednesday night.
Sure, neither played much defense as Charlotte took a 71-70 halftime lead, but this wasn’t something exceptional or particularly noteworthy. It was simply two gifted offensive teams who couldn’t defend. Many NBA teams can’t defend (at least in the way an old-school guy at the local dive bar yelling at the analog TV desires); it’s not a pressing problem.
The Hornets and Pacers weren’t breaking new ground. What else is on? Oh, I hear Station Eleven is great!
