A look into what the needs to happen in crunch time.
I let myself digest last night's loss to Washington before finishing this piece and it's probably for the better. Even the most casual Pacers fans know the frustrations of the last month and a half. 5-9 since December 19th is a long way off from the conference contending pace they set back in early November. The most nauseating part? Four of those losses came by less than five points. It's been no secret that the Pacers have lacked a true closing threat and have had trouble putting teams away.
