Giannis Antetokounmpo finished Friday’s win over the Pacers with 31 points (13-of-18 FGs, 4-of-6 FTs), 17 rebounds, 10 assists, one block and one three-pointer.
The Pacers had no answer for Giannis on Friday, as he scored 24 of his 31 points in the paint. The partnership between Antetokounmpo and Bam Adebayo looked a bit awkward at the start of the season, which isn’t surprising. But both have looked more comfortable in the last two games, both Heat victories. And it helps that the Heat shot 18-of-40 from three against the Pacers, which provided much-needed spacing on offense.
