Did the takeaways thing from the Pacers win in Washington. Touched on:
-Myles Turner, finding a groove
-“Pissed off” Buddy Hield

Pacers used a 22-2 run in the 1Q to take a double-digit lead and the starters did most of the damage.
Three starters combined for 77, including 27/10 from Myles Turner in his second game in 10 months.

A good night for the Pacers if anyone was looking to pluck Buddy Hield or Myles Turner from their roster. Not sure which team would want to but just keeping tabs. pic.twitter.com/WV3PrwxILi – 10:22 PM

Pacers crush the Wizards on ESPN 127-117. They nearly led wire-to-wire and grab their first road win of the season. Pacers are now 2-4.
Myles Turner was fantastic. 27 points, 10 rebounds, and 5 blocks. Haliburton, with 25 points and 12 assists, was great too. Pacers looked good. – 10:13 PM

Myles Turner’s best career game was one year ago at Washington, when he scored 40.
He’s had a productive night again in DC, with 27/7/4b in just his second game of the season.
Pacers have led by double-digits most of the way. – 9:48 PM
Scott Agness @ScottAgness
Pacers’ offense has been good at different levels.
Including FTs. A perfect 18/18, led by Myles Turner’s 8.
Their lead has grown to 18, the largest of the season. – 8:41 PM

Wizards dominated the Pacers in the paint in the season opener (58-34), but now Myles Turner is back so will be interesting to see if Washington will have the same effectiveness. – 2:45 PM
Tony East @TEastNBA
Kendall Brown and Trevelin Queen have joined the Mad Ants, who are in training camp, and won’t be with the Pacers in DC tomorrow. Myles Turner is off the injury report.
Pacers-Wizards on ESPN tomorrow night. – 6:57 PM

Myles Turner’s first bucket of the season as he cans an and-1 with Andre Drummond on him. – 8:47 PM

Myles Turner sits after the first five minutes of the game. 2 rebounds, 1 assist so far. Pacers down by 8 when he checks out. – 8:21 PM
Mike McGraw @McGrawDHSports
One interesting part to tonight’s game: Pacers are last in #NBA in points allowed in 1stQ with 35.0. #Bulls are fourth-worst at 33.0.
Getting Myles Turner back might help Indiana, but he’s expected to come off bench. – 8:07 PM

More on this storyline

Myles Turner plans to make his season debut in Chicago on Wednesday night barring a setback in pregame warmups, Fieldhouse Files has learned. Turner, the Pacers’ first-round pick in 2015, missed the first four games of the season after a freak accident two hours before the season opener. He stepped on the foot of a basketball assistant (intern) and tweaked his left ankle. -via Fieldhouse Files / October 26, 2022
