One of the most feared phrases in the NBA is “tail-end of a back-to-back.” Especially coming off an overtime loss in which a team blows a 20-point lead. That’s exactly where the San Antonio Spurs find themselves as they travel to Indianapolis. After losing a close one to the Toronto Raptors 123-116, the Spurs have a chance to bounce back against another Eastern Conference foe.
They will face an Indiana Pacers squad who has one of the best young point guards in the NBA. Tyrese Haliburton has launched himself into superstardom with a strong Team USA performance this summer, and an All-Star appearance last season.
