Pacers Win! Can They Win a Few More?
The Bulls poor play this series gets even poorer, and the Pacers finally take advantage.
No team has come from a 3-0 hole in the NBA, but the Pacers will have to be the first if they hope to stay alive in the NBA Playoffs.
I initially typed 'Bulls' first in that headline as I was so used to it. This time, a hole too deep.
Take-over time. Or not.
Almost too-big of a deficit. But probably not really. How can you count these guys out?
Gametime at 1:30.
Pacers face a sweep, while playing the most consistent basketball of the year
The Pacers welcome to Chicago Bulls into Conseco Fieldhouse in hopes of avoiding an insurmountable 0-3 deficit.
