The Indiana Pacers desperately need a win if they want to stay in the Eastern Conference playoff hunt, but that won’t be easy against the Toronto Raptors.
Things are looking good early as the Pacers as they capitalized on turnovers in the first half to score 14 off of them.
Another big factor so far has been moving the ball. All of the starters had at least one assist in the first half including Thaddeus Young, who is underrated as a passer.
The bench unit actually held its own in Toronto, a necessary change from their usual problems, but that still doesn’t mean fans can’t ask for Nate McMillan to go Full-Tom-Thibodeau.
