And the wins just keep coming

The Pacers moved to 3-0 with a rather methodical 89-74 victory over visiting Cleveland Saturday night.
Overall Impression
There was no absolute defining moment in this victory. And maybe that's a good thing. No one had to play spectacularly, or make a several big plays down the stretch in this one. It was the kind of game that a mature team wins

1) With George Hill missing the game due to a sore hip, that forced C.J. Watson into a starting role. Watson didn't have a spectacular game in the box score with seven points, six rebounds and four assists. But there was one number in the box score that did stand out for Watson. That was the zero in the turnovers category, always a nice stat from your point guard.

Lance Stephenson had 22 points Saturday. 

2) With Hill out, Lance Stephenson did step up and continued to prove why he should remain a starter if/when Danny Granger returns from calf injury in about two weeks. Stephenson's versatility showed with his ability to run the point guard spot at times when needed. He also has worked on his outside shot and was confident in hitting five of seven 3-pointers on the night. Stephenson has a come a long way and the patience of returned team president Larry Bird has paid off. The only downside to Stephenson's game is that he sometimes likes to make a little bit too fancy of a pass that can result in a turnover
3) There was no doubt that Paul George deserved to be an all-star last year and so far he's proving last season was no fluke. After three games he's averaging just under 26 points per game, but the nice thing is that for the most part his points come in the natural flow of the game. It's not as if he's forcing up a bunch of bad shots to get his points, with Saturday's 8-for-17 performance being a good example of that.
Dislikes
1) The turnover situation continues to be a problem. Sometimes the Pacers throw passes and you wonder what they are looking at. They had 20 more turnovers Saturday night after averaging 18 in their first two games. So far they've been able to survive it because of their defense and rebounding, but 20 is just simply too many.
2) I know Anthony Bennett is on the other team, and it's early, and that rookies, even the best ones, have their ups and downs. But he didn't really look the No. 1 overall pick in last summer's draft did he? He was scoreless in 12 minutes of action.
Next up
The Pacers play at Detroit Tuesday in a 7:30 p.m. game. The Pistons have a 1-1 mark heading into tonight's game against Boston. The Pacers will be trying to start 4-0 for the first since the 2004-05 season, a season that began with so much promise before it all went awry in ... Detroit, of all places.
