The Indiana Pacers are playing their best basketball of the season about three months too late.
The Indiana Pacers exploded for a 28-3 run in the second half to run past the Utah Jazz for a 122-106 win at Conseco Fieldhouse.
But Earl Watson's late-season push as the team's prominent point guard will force the team to make another difficult decision with the PG spot this summer.
