Indiana Pacers Mascot Shatters Backboard At High School Basketball Game

It's hard to top the New Palestine-Triton Central rivalry in Indiana high school hoops but Boomer, the Indiana Pacers mascot, just upped the ante. While the Pacers were on the road against the Warriors last night, Boomer paid a visit and put on a show those in attendance would not soon forget. Boomer pulled out the mascot calling card—the trampoline-assisted dunk—with a surprise twist at the end. Broken glass, everywhere.

Since high school basketball is not like the NBA, the backboard could not be immediately replaced so the game was moved to an auxiliary gym. Boomer's response? " Oooops."
