Victor Oladipo on his game-winning shot: ‘It’s stuff you dream about’

It wasn’t a buzzer-beater but it sure felt like more than a game-winning jumper.

With forward LaMarcus Alridge defending after Danny Green switched onto Domantas Sabonis, Victor Oladipo knew it was on him to take advantage of the switch and to get a shot off.

He went between his legs, two dribbles left, hop back, high follow-through … and in from around 27 feet out. …

Oladipo gives game ball to Glenn Robinson III

There he was watching his team pull out a 97-94 victory over the San Antonio Spurs on Sunday. He was happy for his team to be back in Indy following a three-game road trip, and elated to be courtside for their afternoon game.

Glenn Robinson III, who underwent left ankle surgery two weeks ago, traded in a uniform for a maroon sportcoat and wore a …

Running thoughts: Pacers 97, Spurs 94

Here are my running thoughts from the Pacers’ 97-94 win over the San Antonio Spurs Sunday afternoon at Bankers Life Fieldhouse.

First game during a six-day stretch with four games in three different cities. Spurs coach Gregg Popovich spoke highly of Pacers guard Cory Joseph, who was drafted 29th overall in 2011 by San Antonio. Nate McMillan on Myles Turner, who missed his fifth straight…

Pacers celebrate McGinnis’ Hall of Fame enshrinement, present him with a Range Rover

In addition to the Pacers’ impressive 97-94 win over the San Antonio Spurs on Sunday afternoon, the franchise took the time to celebrate Hall of Famer George McGinnis.

The 6-foot-8 from George Washington High School in Indianapolis, helped the Pacers to two ABA titles – in 1972 and 1973. The latter year he was named Most Valuable Player in the finals and in 1975, the …

Myles Turner not yet symptom-free, still several days away from a return

Myles Turner has hung around the team despite being sidelined with a concussion and still suffering through the symptoms.

The Pacers’ starting center joined them on their most recent three-game road trip that stopped in Miami, Minneapolis, and Oklahoma City. He has not returned to the basketball court and has watched the games at the team hotel.

“Nothing has changed,” head coach Nate McMillan said …

Running thoughts: Thunder 114, Pacers 96

Here are my running thoughts from the Pacers’ 114-96 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder Wednesday night at Chesapeake Energy Arena.

Classy move by the Thunder to recognize Victor Oladipo and Domantas Sabonis on the video board before the game. It took George 2:22 seconds to complain to the officials. He was called for a foul, and then another one two minutes later. (As you’ll…

Ep. 66: ESPN’s Royce Young on Paul George in OKC

Reunion week continues for the Pacers.

On the second night of back-to-back – after handling the Minnesota Timberwolves (with Jeff Teague and Aaron Brooks) – the Pacers should be fired up as they face Paul George for the first time since dealing him to the Oklahoma City Thunder in late June.

George, through his agent, informed Pacers General Manager Kevin Pritchard that he would not …
