The Pacers play the Raptors three times in the span of 15 days with the second matchup slated for Friday night in Toronto. Despite being well rested in their first meeting on Mar. 19, the Pacers had nothing for the Raps in a disappointing 116-91 loss.
This time around if the Pacers aren’t able to muster up some sense of urgency and desperation in their approach, they simply aren’t capable. After the Chicago Bulls beat the Cleveland Cavaliers on Thursday night, the Pacers are only one game ahead of the Bulls in the Eastern Conference standings.
