What’s the buzz on Twitter?

Josh Lewenberg @JLew1050
Most lead changes in a Raptors game this season, prior to today, was 26 (in the 132-131 win over Indiana on Nov. 22).
There’s been 35 lead changes through 3 quarters tonight. Raptors are up 92-91 on the Clippers going into the 4th. – 12:13 AM
Washington Wizards @WashWizards
28 points from JP and 6 blocks from Gaff tonight in Indy.

“Rick did a great job tonight,” Bruce Brown says through a smile with Carlisle watching the press conference. – 9:41 PM
Tony East @TonyREast
Bruce Brown and Myles Turner both happy with the Pacers balance tonight. That was key for the team tonight – 7 guys in double figures and 31 assists. – 9:39 PM

Quick recap from Pacers-Wizards: si.com/nba/pacers/sch… – 9:32 PM
Tony East @TonyREast
Pacers beat the Wizards 112-104. 104 is tied for the Pacers fewest points allowed in a game this season (its tied after Deni Avdija hit a meaningless layup late).
18 and 13 for Turner. 16 for both Brown and Mathurin. Pacers are 22-15, any win without Haliburton is good. – 9:28 PM
Scott Agness @ScottAgness
Pacers handle the Wizards 112-104 in their first game w/o Haliburton. Now 14-2 with 7+ players in double figures. Turner had 18/13; Mathurin/Brown scored 16pts.
Homestand was a success, 4-1 with three wins over two top East teams.
Next: Fri. at ATL to begin 6-game roadie – 9:27 PM
Bobby Manning @RealBobManning
#Celtics will challenge White’s foul on Edwards.
Worth a flier, as the #Pacers‘ challenge showed on Monday, but I don’t think they’re gonna win it. – 9:23 PM
Tony East @TonyREast
This one isn’t done yet. Pacers were up 17 with 4:48 to go, but their lead it down to 8 with 2:33 on the clock. 9-0 Wizards run. – 9:21 PM

the free throw at the line.

Scott Agness @ScottAgness
Myles is having a productive second half. He’s usually at his best when he’s 1) engaged and 2) a little pissed off.
He hadn’t played well in their two previous meetings with WAS, but he has tonight. Leading the Pacers with 17 & 12. – 9:14 PM
Tony East @TonyREast
Wizards in a zone right now. Bruce Brown roams around in the middle and gets a nice bucket. – 9:11 PM
Tony East @TonyREast
Pacers lead at a game-high 13 after a three from Obi Toppin. Good extra pass from Buddy Hield to make it happen. – 9:09 PM
Tony East @TonyREast
Reggie Wayne is courtside for Pacers-Wizards. – 9:07 PM
Scott Agness @ScottAgness
Difference in the second half has been rebounding and taking care of the ball. Pacers are now positive on the boards and have held the Wizards to just one OReb after 11 in the first half.
And so they lead by 10 with 7:25 left. – 9:07 PM
Chase Hughes @ChaseHughesNBCS
Bilal Coulibaly is not messing around 😯pic.twitter.com/pyqximElzu – 9:01 PM

Josh Robbins @JoshuaBRobbins
And that was a dangerous foul by Isaiah Jackson as Bilal Coulibaly was driving toward the basket early in the fourth quarter. Jackson received a Flagrant-1 foul. – 8:58 PM

Tony East @TonyREast
Isaiah Jackson’s foul on Coulibaly is being reviewed to see if it’s a flagrant. The Wizards rookie went down hard. – 8:55 PM
Josh Robbins @JoshuaBRobbins
That was one impressive dunk by Bilal Coulibaly late in the third quarter. – 8:54 PM
Tony East @TonyREast
Pacers lead the Wizards 89-80 after three quarters. They found some offensive rhythm in that quarter too expand their advantage. Nwora, McConnell, and Brown were solid. Myles Turner is up to 15 poitns, which leads the team. – 8:50 PM
Tony East @TonyREast
5 quick points from Jordan Nwora and the Pacers are still up 12. Nwora is currently 3/4 and has had some impactful defensive possessions tonight. Exactly what they have needed from him with multiple guys out. – 8:45 PM
Sean Grande @SeanGrandePBP
Celtics – free throw shooting
Two games at Indiana: 30-48 (62.5%)
Tonight: 17-17 (100%) – 8:39 PM
Tony East @TonyREast
22 of the Pacers 26 makes tonight have been assisted. They’ve been moving the ball productively even without Haliburton. – 8:34 PM
Chase Hughes @ChaseHughesNBCS
Daniel Gafford has 5 blocks in 19 minutes. Lol. – 8:27 PM

7-0 run to start the half after this Myles Turner three 🔥 pic.twitter.com/2ejWKPc1rS – 8:26 PM

Tony East @TonyREast
Myles Turner for 3. Really nice start to the second half for the Pacers, who jumped out to a 7-0 run and lead by 6. Timeout Wizards after 92 seconds. – 8:23 PM

Corey Kispert had 13 points in the 2nd quarter and leads all scorers with 15 points (6-9 FG / 3-6 3PT) at halftime.
This was a crafty move to evade elite shot blocker Myles Turner at the rim. pic.twitter.com/jSQXQW9pzf – 8:10 PM

Tony East @TonyREast
Halftime: 55-54 Wizards. Both teams have made 20 shots, but the Wizards are going better from deep. Haliburton’s most noticable impact: Just nine three-point ATTEMPTS for Indiana in the first half. – 8:08 PM
Indiana Pacers @Pacers
Bruce Brown gets the foul and the basket to go‼ pic.twitter.com/daprEGeilj – 8:05 PM

Pacers back in the lead at 50-48 and have crossed over 40% from the field. – 8:04 PM

The Wizards are shooting 36.6% right now. That’s the best number between the two teams. – 7:54 PM

Really good minutes from Isaiah Jackson on his birthday so far. – 7:40 PM
Scott Agness @ScottAgness
Who knew Bruce Brown knew ALL the lyrics to “Party in the U.S.A.?” Even sang the whole thing back in high school. And just did it again (video recording) during the timeout.
That’s the highlight of the first quarter. – 7:38 PM
Chase Hughes @ChaseHughesNBCS
The Wizards and Pacers play fast and score a lot, but the 1st quarter was not exactly a shootout. 23-21 Indiana with both teams shooting sub-40% so far. – 7:36 PM
Tony East @TonyREast
TJ McConnell’s shot at the buzzer was just barely too late and the Pacers lead is 23-21 after one frame. 6 points from Bennedict Mathurin leads the way. – 7:34 PM

Pacers bench group on a bit of a run here and the Pacers are back in the lead. But man has this been an ugly game so far. Both teams shooting under 40% with at least 4 turnovers. – 7:34 PM
John Hollinger @johnhollinger
Did Isaiah Jackson just post up into a soft left-handed bank shot, or is my coffee spiked? – 7:34 PM
Scott Agness @ScottAgness
Offense has been a struggle for both teams as they try to settle in. Pacers are just 6 of 20, 1 of 6 from range. Feels like they’ve given up a dozen offensive rebounds too.
Jordan Nwora not only in the rotation, but getting 1Q mins as Carlisle has already used 10 guys. – 7:31 PM
Tony East @TonyREast
Jordan Nwora is in for the Pacers with 2:46 left in the first quarter. – 7:29 PM
John Hollinger @johnhollinger
lol Bennedict Mathurin just tried the most pickup game finish ever. Running finger roll from 17′. – 7:28 PM
Tony East @TonyREast
Wild how quickly the Pacers just went from a defensvie;y-focused group to an offensively-strong lineup. This bench unit with McConnell/Mathurin/Hield is needed after a sluggish start. – 7:26 PM
Clemente Almanza @CAlmanza1007
Lmao Michael Cage just had the most dad joke ever on the pregame show and said he found some dropped dimes himself when discussing OKC’s season-high 37 assists against the Wizards – 7:17 PM
Tony East @TonyREast
6-5 Wizards early. Pacers have four turnovers in just over three minutes. Really ugly start in that way. – 7:15 PM

Tony East @TonyREast
Tyrese Haliburton was uplifted by the nature of the news yesterday. Could have been much worse. He won’t play but will be on the West coast trip with the Pacers. He’ll be able to be with the team doctors. – 5:24 PM
Rod Boone @rodboone
No Cody Martin or PJ Washington tonight against Sacramento. – 5:19 PM

Jay King @ByJayKing
Joe Mazzulla on the L2M report: “It’s more important to focus on the third quarter for our team.”
The Celtics gave up 44 points in the third to a Pacers team without Tyrese Haliburton. – 5:17 PM

Reminder to tune in at 6:30 p.m. on @MonSportsNet for my interview with Hall of Fame coach Mike Krzyzewski. He has great insight into what his former player Tyus Jones brings to the Wizards. pic.twitter.com/ScD3lZ7b7v – 4:34 PM
Katy Winge @katywinge
Players this year with 20+ PPG, 6+ APG and 40% from 3P:
Jamal Murray, DEN (20.6/6.2/41.7 3P%)
Tyrese Haliburton, IND (23.6/12.5/40.3 3P%)
Jalen Brunson, NYK (25.6/6.4/42.6 3P%)
So the one in the West is probably an All-Star, yes? – 4:00 PM

Evan Sidery @esidery
The Pacers are “very, very determined” to not include Jarace Walker in any trade, per @wojespn.
Indiana is very high on Walker’s long-term potential, as are other teams around the league.
In a potential Pascal Siakam trade, Walker could be a key sticking point in negotiations. pic.twitter.com/QDPw5pjXpy – 1:13 PM
