There have been enough ugly, no good, terrible outings by the Indiana Pacers this season for anyone to drop them to the bottom of the power rankings, but they’ve managed to remain in the middle of the pack.
The Pacers dropped back to an average ranking of 18.5, a total of five spots down from their average the week before.
Things likely would have been worse had Indiana not played their most complete game of the season against the Chicago Bulls on Saturday. Breaking out of their slump and knocking off a Bulls team that started the season off hot was impressive even if Chicago was on the tail end of a back-to-back.
