It wasn't the most exciting game of the season for the Pacers, or even their most impressive victory. They beat Orlando, a losing team coming off an emotional victory at Oklahoma City the previous night, despite scoring 88 points and hitting just 39 percent of their shots against the NBA's worst defense.
From their point of view, however, it might have been their best win, the one in which offense and defense came together better than any game this season. The only thing missing was shooting accuracy, which will come and go with the ebb and flow of the schedule.
