Thaddeus Young was the only player who kept the Pacers afloat in their game against the 76ers. And when I say “afloat”, I mean, he was the one who prevented a blowout loss from turning into an even bigger blowout loss. Check out these shooting numbers from his teammates, who are allegedly NBA players:
Victor Oladipo: 6 of 20
Tyreke Evans: 6 of 14
Bojan Bogdanovic: 3 of 11
Myles Turner: 1 of 5
Darren Collison: 3 of 10
Domantas Sabonis: 3 of 7 (that’s really bad for the Saboner since he’s shooting like 85% on the season)
Meanwhile, Young was an efficient 11 of 17 from the field and he hit all three of his triple attempts. The difference between him and his teammates is that this was a REVENGE GAME for Young. None of the other Pacers had anything to play for other than pride, and a desire not to get blown out on national TV with the whole country (plus large sections of other countries) watching your demise live.
