The basketball gods rewarded the Pacers on Friday when they picked up another W at the NBA league offices where a series of coin flips settled a three-way tie for the 18th, 19th and 20th draft positions.
The Spurs and Clippers finished the season at 48-34, just like the Pacers. The Pacers could’ve wrapped up the 18th spot with a loss in Atlanta, but somehow found a way to win. Despite several key players sitting out, the Pacers enjoyed a strong effort from a few vets and several young players, ending with Edmond Sumner making three free throws to steal the win.
