The Pacers were less than super on Sunday when they lost to the visiting Utah Jazz, 111-95.
The Pacers stayed within striking distance much of the second half, but at closing time, the Jazz made the necessary winning plays to put away the win, their fourth in a row and 15th of the last 16 games.
The Jazz played without point guard Mike Conley, which was just the seventh missed game among the top nine players in Jazz rotation. In essence, the Jazz are using the same formula as the Pacers but being rewarded for their continuity with good health among their key players and man can they play.
