109-91.
The Pacers, as expected, secured a home victory.
Su Xi finished the game with 15 points, 9 assists, 8 rebounds, 3 steals, and 1 block, which was about on par with his season averages—and he only played 27 minutes. His efficiency was off the charts. Of course, many people claimed his assists were high because the Pacers had so many strong players, his rebounds were high because Foster and Little O'Neal boxed out for him, and his scoring was high because his teammates created space for him, leading to mostly easy balls from attacking the paint.
Basketball pundits can always see the "essence" through the "phenomenon," always ready to throw out some "shocking" hot takes.
But the stats and the record are right there. What can you do besides chirp?
LeBron James, staggering his minutes, played for 34 minutes tonight and put up 28 points, 8 assists, 6 rebounds, 2 blocks, and 2 steals.
It was another one of those "the team lost, but Ah Zhan didn't" games.
