Can the Pacers Strike Again? Game 2 Against the Thunder Could Define Their Championship Hopes
As a general rule, moving the ball is a more efficient way to run an offense. However, in specific situations – say, when a team is facing a ferocious defense like coach Mark Daigneault’s Thunder (No. 1 in defensive TRACR) – it can be better to limit the number of passes to minimize opportunities for the defense to get steals.ÂÂ
The Pacers decided to be more selfish in the second half (only 58.3% of their field goals were assisted), and it paid dividends. This approach may be worth continuing moving forward.
