Solo Giannis

In his second outing after losing Jabari Parker, Giannis continued to have the ball in his hands more often. Every possession runs through him now, as it is largely his responsibility to get the team an open shot.

When Giannis was on the floor, he ran into some foul trouble late in the second half, he played with a heightened level of intensity, without really being allotted the opportunity to take a second to breathe in the corner anymore.

The Pacers were making it tough for him to get to the hole, so he went into playmaker mode. Rest assured, he was still making a huge impact on the game. Whether it be a LeBron James-like cross court jump pass to an open Malcolm Brogdon, or a pick-and-roll one armed bounce pass to the Moose, Giannis was dealing.

The lengthy playmaker worked for 16 points, 10 assists, seven rebounds, two blocks and one steal. For the second night in a row, Giannis got himself to the line, shooting 12-14.
