58 games in, 14 remaining in a shortened 72 game NBA regular season, and the Indiana Pacers sit at ninth in the eastern conference with a ho-hum record of 27-31. The team hasn’t finished lower than seventh in the conference since Roy Hibbert, David West, George Hill, and seven-time all-star Paul George were battling Lebron James‘ Miami Heat during their dynastic four-year run.
Indiana’s three leading scorers this season could lay the groundwork towards a return to that elite status.
