Try as they might, the Pacers didn't have enough answers to pass their test against the Spurs.
Not all was lost for the Pacers in San Antonio as they played well and found a way to hang around for the better part of three quarters. You could make the case that a couple more buckets with a couple of breaks and things may have been tight down the stretch. But in reality, the Spurs dictated how the game was played and even when thing were tight in the first half, had the Pacers teetering in an uncomfortable position.
