TJ Warren continued his white-hot shooting at the NBA seeding games in Orlando. Warren unfurled a 39-point explosion to lead the Indiana Pacers to a 116-111 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers on Saturday. Pacers All-Star Victor Oladipo can't help but think Warren is playing out of this world right now.
“Hey look, T.J. Warren is on a different planet right now,” Oladipo said (via ABC News). “It don't matter what I say, it don't matter what you say, it don't matter what somebody down the street say — Johnny, Barley, Ms. Susie — he locked in right now. I don't need to encourage him to do anything; he's going to put the ball in the rim regardless of who's out there.”
Apart from a quiet night in their loss to the Phoenix Suns on Thursday, Warren has been on an absolute tear. He dropped a career-high 53 points in their bubble opener and followed it up with two straight 30-point outings for the Pacers. Not counting his 16-point outing against the Suns, Warren is averaging an insane 39.5 points in Indiana's four wins in the season's return so far.
To add to his 39-point masterpiece, Warren also grabbed five boards and shot a scorching 15-of-22 from the field, along with five made triples for the Pacers.
Overall, Warren is averaging 34.8 points for the Pacers, while shooting an insane 60.5 percent from the field and 55.5 percent from beyond the arc.
Warren has been a revelation for the Pacers in the bubble games. His 34.8 points currently leads all scorers since the season resumed in Orlando.
