The Indiana Pacers won their regular-season finale to secure home-court advantage for Tuesday's play-in game against the Charlotte Hornets.
Whether that clash in Indianapolis will serve as any form of an edge for the ninth-seeded Pacers (34-38) remains to be seen.
Indiana, after all, won just13 of 23 games at home this season. The Pacers also lost two of the three meetings with the 10th-seeded Hornets (33-39) in 2020-21, including a 114-97 decision at Bankers Life Fieldhouse on April 2.
"We're home in front of our fans, so that's going to be a lot of fun," Domantas Sabonis said after recording his 48th double-double of the season in Indiana's 125-113 win over the Toronto Raptors on Sunday in Tampa, Fla.
