The Indiana Pacers (38-33) have already clinched their 27th consecutive winning season at home, but they still have plenty of work to do to secure a playoff berth. Thursday's action brought mixed results for the Blue & Gold. On the upside, Indiana's lackadaisical play was enough to overcome the injury-riddled New Orleans Pelicans while the Chicago Bulls (36-35) lost to the New York Knicks for the second time in two days. On the downside, Paul George left last night's game with a lower right leg contusion, and the Pacers failed to earn a commanding win against a grossly undermanned lottery team.
