Always maintain a stable level during the playoffs! Are the Pacers inside pillar really underestimated?

In a previous NBA Eastern Conference Finals, the Indiana Pacers defeated the New York Knicks who played at home 114-108 again. After this game, the Pacers widened the total score of the series to 2-0. Next, they will return to home court to continue fighting. It seems that they have already gained an absolute advantage and initiative in this round of series, as they have won two consecutive away games.

In this game, the Pacers' starting center Myles Turner's performance is still worthy of recognition. Turner played 32 minutes and 46 seconds in the game, made 5 of 10 shots, 1 of 4 from outside the three-point line, and 5 of 7 free throws, scoring 16 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal and 2 blocks, and 1 turnover and 2 fouls. The plus and negative value reached the highest +17 in the game. Turner has shown a relatively comprehensive scoring ability on the offensive end. He has also won a lot of points through various methods, providing a lot of support for the team on the offensive end. Turner also maintained sufficient stability on the defensive end, and he also had very good frame protection and interior defense ability. Turner's data seems to be average, but the team's situation is also quite good when he is on the court. There is no doubt that Turner's outstanding performance on both offense and defense also made a huge contribution to the team's victory.

In the NBA regular season this season, Turner played 72 games in 82 games, averaging 30.2 minutes per game, averaging 15.6 points, 6.5 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 0.8 steals and 2 blocks, and 1.7 turnovers and 2.5 fouls, shooting percentage of 48.1%, three-point shooting percentage of 39.6%, and free throw shooting percentage of 77.3%. In the playoffs, Turner averaged 31.1 minutes in the first 12 games, with averaging 16.3 points, 5.7 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 0.8 steals and 2.3 blocks, and 1.2 turnovers and 2.4 fouls. He shot 51.2%, three-point shooting percentage 41.7%, and free throw shooting percentage 78.2%.

Turner's performance in the regular season can only be considered as a normal match, and therefore, there have been rumors about him. But in the playoffs, Turner's performance improved significantly on the basis of the regular season. Turner's offensive efficiency is quite good, his three-point shooting percentage can be maintained at a high level, and his performance on the defensive end is also worthy of recognition. He showed a tough enough defensive attitude, and his many data have also made considerable progress compared to the regular season. Turner's outstanding performance is unexpected, and it is also a key factor in the Pacers' ability to pass the hurdles and have a decisive advantage in the Eastern Conference Finals. It seems that Turner is the player who is truly underestimated by everyone. Is his value to the Pacers very crucial?
