On December 24, Beijing time, the Pacers defeated the Rockets 118-106 at home, and in the absence of Sabonis, Turner got another chance! The Rockets were still 3 points ahead at the end of the third quarter, but the Pacers directly destroyed the Rockets in the final quarter with a wave of 22-5, and the Pacers finally picked up a big win.

According to Pacers reporter Scott Agness, the Lakers and Pacers had talked about the Myers Turner deal, and previous reports showed that the Pacers were about to rebuild, and LeVert, Sabonis, and Turner could all be traded! Turner deserves to be the Pacers' hero for winning, 10 rebounds is also the highest in the game, 8 of the 18 shots are in the box, and 3 are dunks, and Turner is also domineering after the game.
Turner said: "I know what I'm capable of, what I can do in every game, and today as the sole number five, my team trusts me to be able to play rounds. ”
For today's Lakers, what are they most lacking? Maybe it's the no. 5 position that satisfies Vogel, with an inside line and vitality, young enough and a certain three-point range. Howard is a thirty-year-old man, Master Huo is also very strong, and Turner is only 25 years old and full of vitality.
Do you see the Lakers?

With 32 points and 10 boards, one person beating the Rockets inside, for the Lakers, Turner is definitely stronger than Jordan Jr.
