Trevor Ruszkowski-USA TODAY Sports

The Indiana Pacers had a golden opportunity to put themselves one step closer to the second round on Sunday against an undermanned Milwaukee Bucks side. Both Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard were unable to suit up in Game 4, which meant that the Pacers were in a great position to take a 3-1 series lead against the No. 3 seed Bucks.

Myles Turner knew exactly what was at stake, and the Indiana big man delivered in a major way as he led the Pacers to a 126-113 victory.

Indiana Pacers News: Myles Turner Steals the Show in Game 4

Turner was red-hot on Sunday night as he went off for a game-high 29 points on 10-of-17 shooting. The 28-year-old also logged nine rebounds, four assists, three blocks, and zero turnovers in what was arguably his best postseason performance ever.

However, the most outstanding highlight of Turner’s big night is the fact that he went crazy from beyond the arc by draining no less than seven triples on the evening. Turner has now matched Nikola Jokic’s all-time record for the most triples by a center in a postseason game:

To say that Turner came up big for Indiana in this one would be an understatement.

For good measure, Turner also came up with one of the most astounding highlight plays of the evening. He absolutely destroyed Bucks big man Brook Lopez on a highly disrespectful poster dunk:

Let’s not forget that Lopez is one of the best rim protectors in the NBA today, so this dunk definitely has some extra spice to it.

Talk about adding insult to Milwaukee’s injury, right?
