There’s nothing nice to say about the loss on Sunday. The Indiana Pacers didn’t show up for the game against the Brooklyn Nets in anything other than in physical form. On top of that, Myles Turner rolled his ankle. Indiana should have listened to me and rested their players.
Annoyances with non-resting aside, the game looked was clearly being played by one team that had already punched their playoff ticket and one that needed a win to seal the deal. There’s no excuses for coming out as flat as the Pacers did, even if the result was an understandable collision of priorities between the two teams.
