If not tonight, then when?
Beating a team two times in three days is no easy task regardless of how many they have. In the case of the Pacers trying to sweep a home-and-home against the Sixers and also earn their first road win, the opponent remains without any wins. Philly is now the sole O-fer team in the NBA after New Orleans beat the Bucks on Thursday.
But the Pacers are O-fer on the road, so motivation, energy, effort — all internal and controllable factors which have failed the Pacers in prior road games — should be plentiful as the blue and gold try to get past that road barrier.
