After failing to get over the hump last night against the Clippers despite big nights from Tyreke Evans (19 points) and Doug McDermott (17 points), the Pacers have lost three in a row and five of seven since the start of their gauntlet schedule on March 7, and their offense has shown signs of fatigue, be it recurrent scoring droughts or unforced turnovers. Going back to the game they dropped on the road against Milwaukee, they’ve ranked 29th in offensive efficiency (at 101.9 points per 100 possessions) with seven rotation players shooting below 45 percent from the floor.
