Familiarity in losses was a common theme for the Indiana Pacers last season, a trend that has quite unfortunately carried over into this new year. Against Charlotte on Wednesday, the Pacers (probably) did enough to pick up the win, but a 24-0 run proved too much to overcome.
Tonight against the Washington Wizards, it wasn’t a 24-0 run, but rather two double digit runs totaling up to 27 total points in favor of the Wizards. The 13-0 and 14-0 runs both did the job erasing a steady three possession lead for the Pacers in the second quarter and putting them down 12 late in the third.
