The Pacers have been in this position before, coming off a discouraging one-sided road loss.
Just last Friday, in fact.
Then, they responded to an 18-point defeat at Milwaukee with a vigorous practice session that led to a 17-point homecourt win over Chicago. Tuesday, they said they had a similar practice following Monday's 22-point road loss at Charlotte, and hope it carries over to Wednesday's game against Philadelphia at Bankers Life Fieldhouse.
They're anxious for the day they don't have to deal with rebounding from embarrassing losses, but this is who they are at the moment – a new team with a new coach trying to get acquainted with one another and establish a personality, one that can be taken on the road.
