Myles Turner and Ben Sheppard shine as Indiana Pacers get impressive win over Dallas Mavericks

Big time win for the Pacers over the Mavs they keep climbing the standings that’s three in a row and it was one of their best games of the entire season will break down the wind Ben Shepard Miles Turner everybody stepping up for the Pacers on today’s locked on Pacers

Podcast you are locked on Pacers your daily Indiana Pacers podcast part of the locked on podcast Network your team every day what up y’all happy Monday and welcome into another edition of the lockdown Pacers podcast where are we of course talk about the Indiana Pacers as always

My name’s Tony East cover the team for Forbes and SII and today big win to talk about for the Pacers beating the Mavs on Sunday Mavs had won seven straight hadn’t lost since the trade deadline came into Indiana little chance Pacers Big Win maybe their best of the Season I’ll make

That argument in just a second lots to talk about from a very complete Pacers performance lots of guys stepping up in unique ways especially they crushed the Mavs and miles or and uh and tyres halberton wasn’t Sensational and Pascal seaka wasn’t Sensational they were good but it was a very fascinating team win

For the Pacers we’ll cover how they did it we’ll talk about the best performances of the night at least compared to expectations miles Turner’s best game of the season to me and Ben Shepard was phenomenal t a little Raptors lots to get to today quick programming note if you’re on the audio

Feed yes this did go up much later than normal in the day that this is the only day that should happen like ever we are doing a small transition of lock on shows to where we post it’ll never happen again I hope you still get this

Before the Raptor game uh if you’re on YouTube congrats this is a normal time to post let’s get right in to Pacers Mavs Pacers were not favored in this game right they were two and a half one and a half. under depending on where you looked that doesn’t matter that much

That’s just to say they were not expected to win even if you thought it was a tossup no one expected them to win by 22 and oh by the way on the same night the Orlando Magic lost to the Hawks and the 76ers lost to I forget who

They played and all of a sudden if the Pacers win Monday night they’re in fifth in the Eastern Conference that’s why these games matter that is why every game matters for the Pacers down the stretch of the season but even these games whether you know it’s a tossup or

Close calls it’s very important right the magic just lost to the Hawks and they almost lost to the Pistons the night before that the 76ers played the Bucks who were good but still that’s a you know they’re at home that’s a maybe tossup game they got smoked right this

Matters so much for the Pacers who could move to fifth tomorrow night and they crushed the maps I keep saying they beat the MS they crushed the MS 22-point win they have five games this season where they beat a team by more than 22 points that would be the Pistons the Wizards

The Hornets the Hawks and the Spurs and there are other games over 15o wins were the Hawks the Jazz the Bulls the Hornets this is pretty comfortably to me the Pacers best most complete win of the season they that went in Miami without halberton where they went crazy um they

Beat Cleveland with some pretty good performances early in the season but I think to for for my money especially given how well the Mavs had been playing of late this was the Pacers best quality performance of the season the Mavs just were were were not didn’t have it they

Couldn’t keep up the first quarter they did and the rest of the game the Pacers absolutely cruised and for my money that is why this is the best and a critical time Pacers win of the season and it was very untraditional which we’ll get into more detail on Turner and Shepard and

And more stuff from this game as we get going but they smoked the Mavs with Tyrese Halbert and statline 17 points 10 assists both below his season average he was one for five from deep below his season average right he had four steals his team defense was solid they were

Able to put him despite the Mavs having such a high-powered backourt they were still able to put Tyrese halberton not on Kyrie or Luca donic he got to be on Josh Green that helped him play that kind of game where he can have four Steals and be more of a defensive impact

Right very rare that hr’s defensive impact is that strong Pascal sakam 12 points on 11 shots nine rebounds is where his impact came from right so so far halberton stay I mean halber had 17 and 10 that’s not a what he did offensively but his steal stood out ver

Sanum his rebounding stood out he had 12 points on 11 shots right he’s typically better in other ways than that Ben Maan 14 points on 14 shots but three steals five assists 11 rebounds this is the kind of stuff it took for the Pacers to win this game is they’re guys who you

Usually think of as like if they win and or they win comfortably dominated on offense or at least like rose to a level above their expect expectation and got it done that was not the case at all the two Pacer starters Who Rose to the occasion offensively and were fantastic

Were Miles Turner and Andrew neard Andrew neard had a an unbelievably good game I’m almost sad I don’t get to talk about him a little more and I just could do it right now seven for eight from the field hit his only three 15 points three boards two assists one steal no

Turnovers plus eight and spent all of his 33 minutes guarding either Luca donic or Kyrie Irving while having that offensive impact Sensational absolutely awesome performance from Andrew nard to do that on both ends he You could argue pretty handily I think that he was their best player in this game because of that

Defensive impact he started the game on Kyrie and Ben maen who deserves a lot of credit for this game Ben maen guarded Luca for a lot of the game and had 11 rebounds and five assists like I don’t at some point you just don’t care that

He had 14 points the all the Pacers want is for him to get better at this team concept kind of stuff that is the kind of game he had tonight where he was team defense great making Lucas life harder hitting the glass passing phenomenal right n hard same stuff and he drilled

His shots every from the field and Miles Turner credit cookies for Miles Turner I keep stealing the the lock on heat credit cookies and blame pie stuff but I think it’s great phrasing Miles Turner 33 points season High only 30-point game this season 12 free throw attempts the most

He’s had in three seasons under Rick Carlile that’s his most free throw attempts in the game eight boards awesome awesome offensive game for Miles Turner and it it comes down to a couple things one is that he was hitting stuff right he was he made all of his twos

Eight for eight on two-pointers his three was not particularly falling but he was hitting long twos or like deep mid-range I guess they weren’t like long long twos to the point that they Lively who was on him a lot still had to be very cognizant of the pop or still

Cognizant of Turner in space in a way that made it very easy for him to get to the basket A lot of the time and the Mavs were trying to pressure tyres halberton very hard and so all of a sudden they ended up switching or backside rotating or whatever and Turner

End up with a guard on him a lot and the Pacers were like hey let’s punish that you know Miles Turner said his teammates have been talking about him getting more going at The Rim well if he has a small on them that’s a great way to do that

And he punished them and that’s why he had 12 12 free throw attempts in this game let me be clear the Pacers as a team had 17 free throw attempts Miles Turner had 12 Luca a very good foul drawer had 12 free throw attempts so did Miles Turner so to recap the Pacers

Starting five Ben maen his big impact rebounding and assists Pascal cakam rebounding Miles Turner getting to the foul line Andrew demard guarding Luca donic and Andrew nard and Tyrus Halbert four Steals and his usual offensive stuff what that is not the form formula you expect from the Pacers and that’s

How you crush the Mavs you have a good solid starting five that’s fitting well together have that kind of game and that was massive they were all fantastic in ways that they usually aren’t on top of in a lot of cases doing stuff that they still can do right it’s not like seaka

And halberton had awful offensive games they would have lost if that was the case it’s not like maen was terrible you know 14 points is 14 points Andre M hard drilled his Shan and was a reliable ball handler like a l that stuff happened to too but a lot of unheralded stuff and

That doesn’t even account for Ben Shepard who will dig into a ton in the next segment who had 15 points on six shots in 12 and a half minutes huh four assists plus 14 phenomenal game Obi toppen was just everywhere and somehow was plus 16 in his minutes and was

Shooting well and Doug McDermot was there and plus eight the whole bench was good TJ McConnell with 12 points and seven assists that was more traditional and Jaylen Smith was back actually playing the bench had more traditional impacts compared to what you expect from those guys although Ben

Shepard of course having a career night is a little different but the way the Pacers won this game and the way they had for my money their most impressive complete win of the Season again there’s always stuff you can nitpick you know they didn’t like they had 12 turnovers

They only had six offensive rebounds whatever you could go on and on they actually got outshot from three pretty handily by the Ms and yet they crushed Dallas who’s on fire the second longest winning in the NBA behind only the red hot Boston Celtics because they had unheralded unusual contributions from everybody who

Played it wasn’t just the typical stuff and that is how you can get a big time win that sets you up for potentially again this Pacers team has had lots tons including against the Raptors at home let down games this season but potentially a chance to move into fifth

In your conference on Monday Night Big Win by the Pacers they earned it two guys deserve more attention I went into a little bit of detail with Turner I want to talk more about Miles Turner I want to talk way more about Ben Shepard so much more to talk about from Pacers

At all-star weekend he may have even have stayed with me we have now done two different NBA event trips together uh can break down the MAV side of this for you their first loss since the trade deadline a lot of angst from MAV the Mavs fear about Tim Hardway Jr’s

Performance uh even though Kyrie and Luka we’re both good enough Tim Hardway Jr minus 14 4 for2 in the field Nick angad will have everything on the Mavs side of this over at lockdown Mavs here at lockon Pacers we have two guys to really dive into and I will start with a

Guy I started talking about a second ago and that is Miles Turner Miles Turner 33 points in this game only his sixth game this season over 25 points his first time clearing 30 so of course that alone shows you how huge this is that said of those five games clearing 25 points he

Took 14 or more shots in all of them and he took 15 in this one but he didn’t get to the foul line as much in those that’s what separated this game from his past I alluded to this earlier but to really dive in Miles Turner five times this

Season has H his season high and free throw attempts if you’d like to know that number is eight eight free throw attempts in a game that’s his season High under Carlile and that includes like half a season of playing alongside sabonis which is a little different but either way under Carlile eight free

Throw attempts was his season high this year eight free throw attempts was his season high in 2122 he had 11 in a game last year and he made all of them this was under Rick Carlile the most free throws Miles Turner has taken in a game

And that speaks to a glown of things one is what I said earlier his team Miles Turner shed this was a postgame and we got you know a little bit of it from his teammates that he’s been talking with them about and the conversation has been

About you know his his attacking of the rim with sakam now you know being kind of a perimeter threat kind you know I don’t know where I’d call seak a threat from him he’s a threat from everywhere as a score but like Halbert and shooting

And N Smith’s a great shooter and N hard has been shooting very well since returning from that inseason tournament injury they have the spacing and Turner’s a good spacer that’s valuable he should still take threes when he’s open but he can be a rim pressure guy

Right he really added that to his game a few years ago that’s what leveled him up more as a player than anything to me I’ve talked about that before was the year he shot7 9% at the rim and he’s been well over 75% all three years since

He was never close to that before and that did start under Rick Carlile and he upped his volume at The Rim last year so once he got just like one dribble post moves that little hook shot he goes to sometimes just being way more threatening in the post that really made

Him harder to guard way harder to guard because the three didn’t just vanish you know it’s not the most consistent thing but it’s still a very valuable shot he has in his Arsenal this year only at 33% that he’s had his lowest three-point percentage of the Season prior to this

Might be higher now right since his rookie here right he isn’t having like a lights out three-point shooting season but he still has some mid-range game to him he still makes decisions in the short sometimes he’s still a threat to pop or roll and so now that he’s added

This Rim finishing game that’s something the Pacers want him to go to more because one he makes the shots right he entered this game at 76.7% from zero to three feet he’s also over 50% from every single mid-range Zone which he also has been the last two seasons prior to this

One 16 beat in Miles Turner that’s a good shot for the Pacers long twos he’s unusually hot this year but still that is what makes him so valuable and versal so in this game when they’re playing the Mavs and the Mavs aren’t huge you know

Josh Green’s kind of tall but you know a little thinner PJ Washington at the four he’s taller he’s valuable but then Off the Bench some centers kba’s more of a center Daniel gafford’s definitely a center and then shorter guards or wings and like Derrick Jones Jr didn’t end up

On him that much but he’s shorter so a lot of the matchups that ended up on Turner from switching or from scramming back to him after two guys went at halberton or after rotating from the backside because the halberton plus whatever screener action made the defense rotate all of a sudden mil

Turner’s like oh I can just shoot over this guy or like oh I can dribble twice backwards and I’ll put the guy into the rim and I could score that is a big growth point for him over the last couple Seasons but in this game that’s

Why he was so dominant because he was able to do that kind of stuff and so on a night that he he stunk from three two for seven that’s not a good night from three the other nights he had big scoring nights this season 6 for 10 from

Deep 6 for eight four for five two for three two for8 those are his over 25o games this season all but one of those good three-point shooting games outside of that game um against Milwaukee in the inseason tournament semis so usually his three ball has been a reliable indicator

Of his point totals this game he bucked that Trend and that was very significant for him that was significant for the Pacers it makes Tyrese halbert’s life easier when halberton can go oh okay two guys are coming at me great Miles Turner here you make a decision it doesn’t even

Like he can just give it up and go to seak or go to whoever’s on the weak side like Andrew nimart who hit everything today you know that that is really valuable for the Pacers to have that kind of threat from Turner and he was terrific absolutely terrific in this

Game I’ll have a story about him sometime uh on Monday and you know what kind of went into this game all the stuff that was said about him his development all that kind of stuff Ben Shepard who whoy I have I I talked a little bit about about Ben Shepard after the

Toronto game and then I wrote a story about Ben Shepard and then he kept playing better he kept playing better and better so we’re gonna go small picture on Ben Shepard for this game and big picture on Ben Shepard for the next let’s say 10 minutes so this is from my

Story before January 15th uh that’s kind of an arbitrary day but kind of not they played at Utah that day on January 15th and they were really banged up if you remember that game and he played 25 minutes and 22 seconds Ben Shepard did and then the very next day they did the

Pascal kakum trade right so they needed him in Utah because the injuries and then they’ve been you know what they they lost Bruce Brown that day they’ve kind of been waffling through lineups between injuries to like n Smith and Maan was out with those illnesses and

The KNE stuff and all you know guys have been in and out so he’s played a lot more but that was the day that happened was January 15th prior to before January 15th Ben Shepard had only played in more than three games in a row once the whole

Season right so the for the first 39 games games of the Pacers season he only played four games in a row once and he played a total of about four and a half minutes of play in those four games combined all garbage time right so not playing very much he reached 10 minutes

Of playing time four times in the Pacers first 39 games right mostly garbage time a few games where they needed him right but mostly garbage time since then enter this is before the Mavs game that just happened so from January 15th until February 22nd game Ben Shepard is

Averaging 15 and a half minutes per game averaging and that does not include this game where he played less than that but still over 10 minutes he has played an all but one game for the Pacers in that spin he only didn’t play when they played at New York they were healthy

That game believe it or not and he didn’t play except now I don’t know if that would ever happen again right he has become I I wrote this and I maybe regret this word a little bit but he I put the word important piece for the

Pacers I don’t know if I’d quite go that far even though I put it in right but he is a rotation piece for this team because he can he can flat out defend that’s where it starts right and that’s what I’ve been saying mostly the whole

Time with him and this happened the game that Rick Carla got ejected uh when they played the nuggets and Ben Shepard came in when Lloyd Pierce subed him in in the fourth quarter and he played the whole fourth quarter and he defended his tail off and I said after that game for the

First time I think out loud Ben Shepard’s one of the best five defensive players on the Pacers this this season as a rookie which is nuts to think about rookies are usually not good Defenders and his team defense he’ll even admit this probably needs some work but his on

Ball defense is amazing and his energy is unbelievable and his instincts are great so they’re their again this isn’t their best lineup but their best raw defensive five is probably nard Shepard n Smith SE yakum Turner right that is a wonderful defensive five and Ben Shepard

Is a part of it because his defense is good and hey guess what he had to defend some Kyrie Irving in the fourth quarter of this game and for the first couple minutes it didn’t go so so good and then for the next couple minutes it went

Great and he hit some threes and all of a sudden the game broke open and the Mavs never had a chance again this is what he is now he is a useful Defender for this Pacers team this game was more than that and we’ll talk about that in a second and I still

Have more stuff to share because I again just wrote about him right but he has just been playing phenomenal basketball and you never know with rookies when it’ll end if it can be consistent if they start ending up on other team scouting reports how does that change

How they’re guarded or how their impact is but this has been such a big thing for the Pacers that he has evolved into a wing piece that can be in their rotation because this wobbly part of the Season they’ve needed depth and Ben Shepard has given it to him what did he

Do in this Mavs game what else is there to know about Ben Shepard as the season progresses forward boy do we have more to talk about with him coming right up here on the lockdown Pacers podcast but first let’s talk about Stitch fix you know that instant confidence boost you

Lot about in the stretch and also I just talked about fashion so I must share I have my Caitlyn Cooper hot girl basketball shirt on highly recommend you get your own everybody they are fantastic and a nod to Rick Carl’s uh even pretty girls get boring if they

Can’t guard quote from earlier this season that was just just Sensational too funny um let’s close this out with a little more Ben Shepard talk you know when talking to the team about him and his energy and what he’s able to do for them right Rick Carlile loved that he’s

A process oriented guy and he can do all this stuff what I really thought was interesting was one was he’s played for the Mad an a lot so mad an head coach Tom hanin said he’s got so much energy and that’s awesome sometimes he didn’t

Have to dial it back a little bit right like in a in a constructive way know going from fourth gear down to third so that he can have that consistent effort but not be like doing too much and being right in the play and I thought that was

Fascinating and he has really absorbed this playing time into confidence and and and being a spark for this Pacers team it’s been so fascinating and I have been asking you know a couple people including Rick Carlile like when did they notice was there a moment a meeting

A practice a game where they’re like dang maybe Ben Shepard’s ready to defend in a way that you know I didn’t expect certainly I saw him at the draft combine and I thought he was good then he was like one of the stand up performers but this level of Defense I didn’t expect

And rck was like yeah the draft at the draft workout he did with us you know we had an idea it was very active at the time and so what is every the theme of what I’m you can kind of get from anybody what from everybody excuse me is

That they just really trust him right a guy that and after this game I think you know Dereck Kramer told me this at the game I Pacers blog that he’s at to 34% from Deep now and he was on fire in this game we’ll get again we’ll get to this

Game for him in just a second but now he he’s up to like 34 35% from three this season you pair that with the defense he has makes a ton of sense why his teammates trust him and before this game is when they were talking about how they

Were like yeah dude we trust you catch it shoot it man get it up and you saw it in this game it was very funny the first time Ben Shepard caught the ball against the Mavs tonight he caught it in the corner he had an open three he looked at

The rim and then put it on the floor and the second time he caught it in the corner I was like he’s going to shoot it they’re going to tell him he should have shot the first one he’s going to shoot it and he did and he drilled it and of

Course he went five for five from DP made all the rest of his threes he took during the game but that’s the faith the Pacers have in Ben Shepard they trust him to make the right play they trust him to make shots they trust him to

Guard as the RJ Barrett stop showed but has still played phenomenal defense since then that is very high praise for a rookie even if it is their 14th guy I mean 10 points was a a career high against the Raptors right before the break you know five rebounds that night

In the game-winning stop of course then he had seven points and was plus six in that Pistons game and today you know i’ I’ve referenced a bunch of his stats and moments already guards Kyrie a little in the fourth I think he had a possession or two on LCA throughout the game great

Defense or at least good enough defense he was plus 14 by the way that’s the second highest on the Pacers behind only Obby top so 15 points for Ben Shepard all on threes that’s a career high in points previous care high was just 10 um he had four assists four assists kept

The ball moving right that ties his career high two steals no turnovers that is a phenomenal bench player I mean if he’s he was basically a three and D Wing in this game and they don’t have Aaron nouth who has literally been a three and D Wing this season and between

Mcdermitt’s threes and Mather’s defense in this game on Luca and Shephard being both they’ve they found a way to get enough on the wing without nemith these last couple games since he got hurt in Toronto and that’s been extremely significant for them as a team and

Shephard to me is like the face of it right he he only played 12 and a half minutes in this game it’s not like he had this crazy massive impact for 48 minutes and Chang the game but he did really kind of change the game because he allowed the Pacers to do something

Significant and that is play a full bench lineup successfully um and people were dunking on this group in the fourth quarter and I’ll explain why I thought this was a funny story but McConnell smith top and McDermot Shephard is like a fan unit that works in the first half

That group got the Pacers the lead right they were down when the full bench group came in late in the first quarter that group got the lead early in the second quarter and then the starters and some mixing and matching gave it away and they got it back and then so that group

Was good in the first half early in the fourth and and late in the third that group wasn’t so good Kyrie was going crazy that group watched the lead get down to four Rick Carlow calls timeout and I got a bunch of tweet replies from

People like what is he doing why does he have this fiveman bench group out there the reason is they were good in the first half and they’ve worked before and he trusted them and everybody thought it was done dumb and I suppose results wise it was dumb because Kyrie was cooking

Them but they were good in the first half and no one said anything and then immediately out of a timeout toin hits a three Shepard hits two threes they’re up 11 again and then no one said anything so Carlile very clearly trusts that group now maybe it won’t work all the

Time right that’s again just some hot shooting from three guys but the fact that Shepard can guard and MC’s been shooting and McConnell’s been playing very well recently Jaylen Smith was back toph’s been such a reliable piece like that’s a that was that was a good group

In this game are some teams that their bench has been terrible against it’s been a big team something I talked about with Will f is a big question for the rest of the season can their bench get back to what it used to be well in this

Game it was and Shepard was a massive part of that he continues to look great and he and Miles Turner really shined above expectations in this game even though a lot of guys were very good in many different ways Jaylen Smith was back no pun intended in the lineup so

Pacers only down n Smith now uh does not sound like he’ll be playing against the Raptors tonight R carile said so we will see what his status can be Pacer’s approaching full health knock on wood right now uh and they got a very very complete team win on Sunday to show

It they do play tonight not a ton to sign on the Raptors not because I don’t know anything about the Raptors but because you guys just saw the Pacers play the Raptors u a week and a half ago before the break on the 14th that’s almost two weeks ago now which is

Blowing my mind a little bit uh that was a tough one for the Pacers I don’t want to just like totally attribute this to mental nonsense but like the last game before the break is hard and it was a very emotional game with seak what it

Was and that’s a lot of excuses uh excuses is the wrong word that’s a lot of just stuff that is extracurriculars but also Isaiah Jackson started in that game and they had no centers and it was weird and Oscar sheway was in the rotation they’ll be healthier for this

One Raptors aren’t playing particularly well that doesn’t really matter though you guys just saw the Raptors play the key to me can they do better slowing Scotty Barnes down at all and can the the Pacers get their own offense humming just a little bit more right just a a

Little more balance uh would be good for them they shot it well and that kind of masked some ugliness in that game and they didn’t turn it over very often in that game which again masked some ugliness but you know if they can get in transition more if they can get it

Popping on offense the Raptors have size but they don’t have a lot of skill on their team which is strange that does that sounds like a knock it’s not they’re they have a fun young team uh but I think for the Pacers the key in this one you know I thought that against

The ma the Mavs this was also kind of the case if the Pacers offense just looks really good they’re goingon to win right and this 127 was enough to beat the Raptors before the break uh the Mavs they scored 133 if they can get to like

125 again I think they’ve got a really good shot of beating this Toronto team because this Raptor team I just don’t they’re just they’re young ascending and they don’t necessarily have the right pieces to stop the Pacers offensive attack and uh I think if the Pacers can continue to

Just shove it down their throats as they did for much of that first game especially after a very crummy defensive first three quarters if the Pacers can score they’re going to win that’s of course been the theme for a lot of their season that was very base level analysis

I’m also looking forward to seeing uh Bruce Brown and Jordan War I have not talked to them since the trade so maybe we’ll have some stuff to talk about with that tomorrow as well as uh the game itself and then they play the Pelicans on ESPN on Wednesday and they play the

Pelicans Friday so lots of pells content coming this week lots of old player stuff coming Pacers well we’ll talk buyout Market later this week as it should be fully formed at least who the available players are come Friday Lots coming here as usual on the lockdown
