Rejudging the deal with the Celtics back then, it seems that the Pacers are the real winners?

In a previous NBA Eastern Conference Finals, the Indiana Pacers defeated the New York Knicks who played at home 114-108 again. After this game, the Pacers widened the total score of the series to 2-0. Next, they will return to home court to continue fighting. It seems that they have already gained an absolute advantage and initiative in this round of series, as they have won two consecutive away games.

In this game, the Pacers' starting wing player Aaron Nesmith still maintained extremely competitive. Nesmith played 32 minutes and 39 seconds in the game, made 4 of 7 shots, 2 of 3 from outside the three-point line, and 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 12 points, 7 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal and 1 block. There were 2 turnovers and 4 fouls, with a plus-negative value of +12. Nesmith's performance in this game was really both offensive and defensive. He still maintained stable efficiency on the offensive end. He also took advantage of limited opportunities to get a lot of points and continued to play his own task well. Nesmith's performance on the defensive end is also worthy of recognition, and he is still a very reliable defender. Overall, Nesmith's performance in this game is still both offense and defense, and he also played his due role. Even though his condition has declined compared to the last game where he was defeated, he has also made considerable contributions to the team's victory.

In the NBA regular season this season, Nesmith played a total of 45 games due to injury, averaging 24.9 minutes per game, averaging 12 points, 4 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 0.8 steals and 0.4 blocks, and 0.8 turnovers and 2.5 fouls. He shot 50.7%, three-point shooting percentage 43.1%, and 91.2% free throw shooting percentage. In the playoffs, Nesmith averaged 30.6 minutes in the first 12 games, with averaging 15.7 points, 6.2 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 0.8 steals, and 0.9 blocks. He also had 0.8 turnovers and 4.1 fouls. His shooting percentage was 54.1%, his three-point shooting percentage was 54.4%, and his free throw shooting percentage was 90.5%.

Nesmith's performance during the playoffs can be said to be phenomenal. His many statistics have improved significantly, and his shooting percentage, three-point shooting percentage and free throw shooting percentage have all reached an incredible level. Nesmith is a good scorer and pitcher on the offensive end, and he is also an excellent outside defender on the defensive end. It is no exaggeration to say that Ene Smith's performance during the playoffs is not an exaggeration to say that he is one of the best 3D wingers in the league. When the Pacers finished a deal with the Boston Celtics, he sent Malcolm Brogdon away and exchanged for Nesmith and a first-round pick. Many fans felt that the Pacers suffered a great loss at the time. As a result, from the current situation, the Pacers' deal that year was a masterpiece, and they could even be said to be the bigger winner in this deal.
