Oh boy. If ever a win felt like a loss. If ever a team can take inspiration in defeat.
The Land needed 40', 46 17/24, 12, 5, and 2 from fill in blank, a 13-0, 19-3 start, 33-18 end-1, 58-46 half to hold off the "Pacers" by tres at home. Ooh. The "Pawns" led 74-67 end-3 but Indy closed to within three on Darren Collison's 3 with :51.2 left in the game. LBJ made 4 free throws and JR Smith 1 in the remainder to complete their scoring. As if to punctuate their invitation to Cleve for the next two in Indy the stellar Victor Oladipo hit a buzzer-beating 3 to make the final 100-97.
That kind of early burst then fade is usually the signature of an overmatched team, hang on or lose. Indy smells blood.
