All season long they have spoken of their resiliency, the ability to rise up to challenges regardless of the circumstances. And now, with 17 games left in the regular season, the need for resiliency has never been greater for the Pacers as they head into their season's most foreboding segment of games, one that has jumped out at them since their schedule was released last summer.
From Thursday's game in Milwaukee through their March 29 date in Boston they play 11 games. Ten of them will come against teams that currently have a winning record and eight of them will be played on the road.
