Pacers' Thaddeus Young: Double-digit scoring streak ends Tuesday

Young tallied four points (2-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt), six rebounds, one assist and one steal across 37 minutes in a 87-81 loss to the Knicks on Tuesday.

Analysis:

Despite receiving a huge swath of minutes, Young was practically invisible during his time on the court, at least on the offensive end. His four shot attempts were tied for his third-fewest of the season, preventing him from extending his streak of double-digit scoring to four games. Even after the poor showing, it's encouraging to at least see Young surpass 30 minutes for the third time in four games. The forward has largely struggled after returning from a wrist injury following the All-Star break, but his 60 percent mark from the field during this four-game span suggests he's turned a corner.
