It took him a few days but that’s it, Pascal Siakam has finally started his victory counter with the Pacers! A quiet success against the Pacers who had their minds elsewhere, and a Spicy P on all fronts to lead “the other” farmers’ revolt.
Three defeats to start his story with the Pacers, against the Blazers, the Suns and the Nuggets.
And to go further? Pascal Siakam had only won one match since January 6, not great for a supersonic top.
Counter unlocked therefore, and in style, against the thirds of the East and their cannibalistic pivot Joel Embiid. A Joel Embiid also stayed on the field a little too long in the third quarter, only to push his series of games to 30 points and more even further. For the rest ? A total domination of the locals, as if to celebrate with great fanfare the big news of the night between four fields: the appointment of Tyrese Haliburton as starting leader for the All-Star Game, which will take place, as we recall, on February 18 at… Indianapolis.
Tyrese was there, with his cute little sweater, to encourage his friends and in particular Pascal Siakam, author of a solid performance in every way. 20 points, 10 rebounds and 8 assists, aggressiveness on both sides of the court even at +20 or almost in the fourth quarter and a vocal leadership role, everything the Pacers came for with Pascalou, in the meantime the “real” first evenings as a duo with his All-Star leader. Aggressive and dominant Siakam therefore, who could have raised the figures much higher, if he had not been the most altruistic Cameroonian of the evening, although he badly forced his triple-double in at the very end of the match, before putting KJ Martin down and leaving for good 2 minutes from the end.
Terquavion Smith, Ricky Council IV, Da’Josh Chipster and Kendall Brown will finish the game to complete the blow-out, and know that we have slipped a player into this list who does not exist. Blow-out, yes, because if the final score indicates 134-122, the feeling is more like 145-108, it happens even to the best. Clap clap the Pacers, perfect for putting your head back together while waiting for the return of the little genius, and the Sixers, for their part, are now waiting for the Nuggets for a huge clash between the two best pivots in the League, Sunday evening at 11:30 p.m.
Pascal Siakam dropped a TRIPLE-DOUBLE in the Pacers’ win against the Sixers!
