Danny Granger didn’t start out last night’s game against the Utah Jazz so well. He missed all of his shots to start off the game, and after the 104-99 victory in Bankers Life Fieldhouse, he was more tired than ever. Apparently, he took too much medicine.
“It just slowed me down basically the whole time,” Granger said. “It was supposed to help me sleep, but it kept me groggy the whole day. I was waiting for it to wear off and I started the game and I still was kind of groggy.”
But he stepped it up at the right time in the fourth quarter when the Pacers needed him the most. After having over a 20-point lead, Indiana blew it up and the Jazz just somehow came back.
That’s when Granger took control, scoring twelve of his 16 points in the fourth to help Indiana improve to 17-7. He went five-of-six shooting and made a great pass towards the end of the game, which led to Paul George for a wide-open three to put the Pacers up for good at 98-95.
