Hornets-Pacers – classic League Pass fun. Brogdon/Sabonis is underrated fun as a p&r tandem. LaMelo’s shot looked pure and the rest was nice. Bridges got away with a travel on his layup with a minute left. PJ played terribly until the final 12 seconds when he was awesome. – 11:47 PM

The last time the Raptors won a game with 83 points or fewer? Nov. 13, 2012 (74-72 in Indiana).

PJ Washington was AWESOME on that final possession bodying up Domantas Sabonis. Forced him into such a tough shot. He’s going to be such a critical player for them long-term as a small 4/5 who can play in late-game playoff spots. Really useful player. – 9:36 PM

Down 1 with 4.6s left, Sabonis misses from 11ft. Hornets edge the Pacers, 123-122.
Sabonis had 33/15; 28 for Brogdon and an impressive debut for Duarte, who scored 27 (6/9 from 3).
LaMelo scored 31; Hayward added 27.

Chris Duarte can shoot, man. Back-to-back triples to end the 1st.
He’s got 11 in 7mins. Sabonis leads the Pacers with 14.
Pacers up 38-27 in Charlotte. – 7:40 PM

Higher hands needed from the guards/wings, Sabonis catches are far too easy on the inside. Once he’s there you aren’t stopping him, but he can’t get to his spot so easy – 7:22 PM

So, @Chris Duarte is the first @Indiana Pacers rookie to start a season-opener since @Jamaal Tinsley in 2001. Tinsley was a starter the first two seasons, then played off the bench early in 2003-04 – when Rick Carlisle became coach. Tinsley became a starter again later in the season. – 7:21 PM

Great to have Hornets basketball again tonight, pre-season is fine but there’s nothing like the real thing.
Remember last season they lost their first two games against OKC & Cleveland and were fine. Expect a slow start with the limited time key players have had in pre-season – 3:45 PM

Mitch Kupchak has to have the smallest ego of any GM in the league. Constantly references about getting “Lucky” with Melo, Hayward, Oubre, 90% of GMs are egotistical – 3:00 PM
