This Indiana Pacers team has been one of this regular season sensation so far. Tyrese Haliburton has proven to be a great fit to the team's and city culture, but everyone on the squad has bought-in the idea of playing smart basketball.
In this video, we can see a sequence of tonight's game between the Indiana Pacers and the Toronto Raptors. Two teams that have very different goals towards the end of the season. The Raptors are going for a full re-build mode, especially after they traded Pascal Siakam to the Pacers, in one of the most hyped movements of the campaign.
The Pacers went all the way to the In-season tournament finals, and are now in the 6th spot in the Eastern Conference, the last seed to earn a direct ticket to the playoffs.
Wanting to consolidate their current status they came to this game expecting to win and if they keep playing at this level, they'll most likely get that W.
Here we can see the playstyle of these Pacers, coached by the former 2011 NBA Champion Head Coach, Rick Carlisle. Indiana plays a fast-pace oriented offense, were every player gets to touch the ball, moving it from one side to another, in order to move the Raptors defense as well. Everyone plays with great fundamentals, using the triple-threat, faking, passing and cutting. The speed of the execution is remarkable, leaving Toronto's defenders almost frozen. Beautiful basketball by Indy.
