The Indiana Pacers head into the all-star break with a 33-25 record after disposing of the Nets tonight in Brooklyn. However, the victory did not come easy as both squads looked more focused on vacation then the task at hand.
On Tuesday, head coach Nate McMillan likened the last game before the all-star break to the final day of classes before spring break for college students. Per Pacers.com, McMillan stated, “Some guys are already on vacation … All coaches are trying to prevent that from happening.”
The play first, work second mentality showed in Indiana’s game; shooting just 43% all night while allowing Brooklyn to shoot 42%.
