Pacers Links: Pacers set to host Raptors while looking for defensive edge (again)

The past two games for the Pacers illustrated the inconsistent nature of the defense this year which relies more on a strong perimeter defensive effort than in years past when funneling players toward a strong rim protector worked well. Sustaining the type of effort and communication needed on the perimeter is more difficult from game-to-game and the Pistons exposed all of the gaps on Saturday night, when seven different players combined to make 13 three-balls and frustrate the Pacers who were unable to keep pace.

Life doesn't get easier for the Pacers as the Toronto Raptors visit the Fieldhouse on Monday.
