On January 27, Beijing time, the NBA field was born with the highest single score of the season! The Hornets won 158-126 in a 158-126 win over the Pacers by as many as 32 points. The 158 points in a single game surpassed the Grizzlies' previous record of 152 points in a season. At the same time, 158 points also set a single-game scoring record in the history of the Hornets. A Pacers with an iron-blooded tradition, but now with a good lineup, it is really sad. The home fans booed loudly and left early in protest.
In this game, the main players such as Pacers Sabonis Jr. and Brogdon continued to be absent, and the two sides played against each other. In the first half, the Pacers trailed just one point 70-71. But the third quarter was abrupt, and the Hornets' feel was still excellent, especially The Oubre's consecutive outside hits. On the Walkers' side, there was a power outage. The Hornets hit a 42-24 attack wave in a single quarter, widening the point difference to 19 points in one fell swoop. In the final quarter, the Hornets continued to widen the points gap, eventually locking in at 158-126.
In addition to the Hornets' record of 158 points in a single game, the Pacers also set a record for shame! Since the Pacers joined the NBA in 1976, their highest single-game points conceded was the 155 points they conceded against the Nuggets in 1982. Arguably, the Pacers set the worst record in team history in 46 years.
With about half a quarter left in the game, the Pacers' home stadium is largely empty! For Pacers fans, such a performance by the team is undoubtedly frustrating and desperate. Although Indianapolis is a small city, the team has a tradition of iron blood and tenacity. But now, with the team clearly having great players such as Sabonis Jr., Turner and Brogdon, they have chosen to mess up, which is really incomprehensible.
For the Pacers, if they really want to completely tear down the rebuild, they should cut the mess quickly. Today's approach makes Pacers fans feel very helpless themselves. It's like being the son of a landlord, holding a golden rice bowl and asking for food. Such a team with a glorious tradition should not be reduced to this. I don't know if the warriors and Lakers and other teams that are determined to compete for the championship should hurry up?
