It’s hard to say how the Indiana Pacers loss to the Boston Celtics will affect them in the power rankings next week. If there’s any good news for them, it’s that most of the media saw them as a top 10 before Sunday.
The Pacers were flying as high as 7th place a week ago, but a pair of losses to the Detroit Pistons and Oklahoma City Thunder slowed their momentum, but taking care of business against the Brooklyn Nets kept them from losing too much ground.
They may be on the edge of the top 10 in the NBA, but a more important question is: Where exactly do they fall in the Eastern Conference?
