INDIANAPOLIS -- The Indiana Pacers look to get back on track Sunday night when they host the Philadelphia 76ers.
Indiana (36-36) dropped two straight games and is 7-14 in its last 21 contests. The Pacers are in the midst of a tight playoff race in the Eastern Conference, leading the Miami Heat by one game for the No. 8 seed and 2 1/2 clear of ninth-place Chicago and Detroit.
Friday night was the first of three straight home games for the Pacers. Instead of taking advantage, Indiana's comeback attempt fell short as it lost to the Denver Nuggets 125-117.
