Through 33 games this season, the Pacers have played very well on the defensive end of the court, but their offense is barely averaging 95 points per game. None of the Pacers are averaging over 15 points per game this season, but they do have eight players averaging 10 points or more per game.

The Bucks played one of their best defensive games on Wednesday night when they blew out the Cleveland Cavaliers 96-80 on the road. They ended up with a 54-49 rebounding advantage in that win and were able to hold the Cavs to a very low 34.1 field goal percentage.
