The Replay: Solomon Hill, Hoosiers, and Colts

So You Think You Can Dance Edition

» A Chance in Hill: Lance Stephenson returned to Bankers Life Fieldhouse, and no one really cared. Instead, Pacers fans were talking about Solomon Hill’s buzzer-beating putback that lifted Indiana to an 88-86 win over Charlotte.

Stephenson, meanwhile, was neither #GoodLance nor #BadLance, finishing with 10 points. #SoSoLance?
