Pacers look to continue their upward trend as they take on Kevin Love and the Minnesota Timberwolves in Indianapolis.
The Indiana Pacers avoided another messy fourth quarter collapse, hanging on to beat the Charlotte Bobcats, 104-103.
The Bobcats were slowly getting choked out by an Indiana Pacers team that was outrunning, outgunning, and outhustling them. But then the fourth quarter happened, and the Cats came roaring back, only to be stifled by sheer bad luck, losing 104-103
As one of the teams the Bobcats are battling for a playoff spot, let's not feel too sorry for the Pacers. After all, that playoff spot looks good, smells good, and they'd step over their own mothers just to get one.
Pacers can pull out the big win against the HEAT, but they will refocus and take on the Bobcats tonight...
