The Indiana Pacers are back! Though the quality of player was somewhere between Summer League and a preseason opener, it was still exciting to see the Pacers, in a modified home court setting, take the court and come away with a late victory over the Portland Trail Blazers.
After a four month layoff due to COVID-19, the NBA resumed play yesterday, kicking off the first round of three scrimmage games leading up to the official resumption of the regular season on July 31 (and August 1 for the Pacers). The Pacers played the home team in this first scrimmage matchup against the Blazers; the basketball P flashing throughout the game on a giant digital wall with a taste of familiar racing sounds.
