In the first three games of the season, togetherness, toughness, and trust looked like it was only a lucid dream for the Indiana Pacers.
There was a lack of communication on both offense and defense and that was evident on opening night against the Detroit Pistons.
Players were not helping each other when beat off the dribble or even working together to help gang rebound against one of the NBA’s best big men in Andre Drummond who finished the game with 32 points and 23 rebounds.
The lack of togetherness, toughness, and trust cost the Pacers an opening night victory.
