Pacers Win Third Straight In Utah

Last updated on Tuesday, January 16, 2018

(SALT LAKE CITY, UT) - Victor Oladipo scored 28 points and the Pacers shot 54 percent from 3-point range as they knocked off the Utah Jazz 109-94 for their third straight victory.

Oladipo went 5-for-8 from beyond the arc and added six rebounds, six assists and two steals while Thaddeus Young added 17 points. The Pacers shot over 53 percent from the field and went 13-of-15 from the free throw line.

"We talked about establishing our pace, but controlling the tempo," Pacers coach Nate McMillan said. "Our guys did a nice job of taking opportunities early when we had them. And if we didn't, we made them defend and were able to execute and score."

When the Pacers knock down their shots they win as they are 15-0 this season when shooting better than 50 percent.

The Blue & Gold are off to a 2-0 start on their west coast trip and get back to work on Thursday when they visit the Portland Trail Blazers.
