And yet quite a few are hesitating on the catch to take dribbles. Need to just let it fly.

This was a great pass by Toppin, by the way.

Indy has so much momentum. These next 6 minutes is going to be critical. Need to try and get a decent lead and dang sure don't get behind again.

Great pass by Toppin and great cut by Mathurin to intercept the ball from Myles. Bro def would've smoked the layup

Indy has to maintain this INTENSITY. That's been lacking.

toppin is proof positive you can take a horrific defender and still form a good team defense.

Turner is afraid to get on the floor for an easy live ball. Cut him

Haliburton is getting SGA on him instead of Dort and then running the PNR with Turner. He's able to get downhill and get to his floater.
