The Pacers look to continue rolling on Wednesday night when they host the Cleveland Cavaliers. After winning their last seven games, it would be easy for the Pacers to consider their eighth straight win a given against the short-handed Cavs.
But this remains the NBA and the Pacers have to do a little more than just show up. As Nate McMillan referenced after beating the Knicks on Sunday, his team has to show growth and a maturity in these types of games to deliver a professional effort.
The Cavs are missing Kevin Love, Tristan Thompson and newly acquired John Henson who was part of a deal that sent George Hill to Milwaukee.
