Coming into the second week with Victor Oladipo back from injury and the team surging, I predicted the Pacers would go 3-1 with games against two playoff teams and two rebuilding teams. I was correct, however, I assumed that loss would come against Cleveland and LeBron James.
However, it was the pesky Miami Heat who would provide the Pacers their only loss of the week.
Indiana kicked the week off against the Miami Heat and unfortunately got down early, as they’ve been known to do this season. While they tried to fight back and sneak out a win, they, unfortunately, were not able to do so, mostly due to having their worst 3-point shooting night of the season, shooting a nearly impossible 5.
