After dropping their last two games, the Los Angeles Lakers will tip-off a nine day long road trip on Monday in Indiana against the Pacers, a team they have already beaten once this season.
In their first season without Paul George in seven years, the Pacers are on pace to finish with their best record since the 2013-14 season, which was also the last season of Lance Stephenson’s first stint with Indiana. Now in his first full season back in Indiana, the Pacers are playing their best basketball since he left.
Coincidence?
