GDT: Pacers v. Rockets 03/09 

Post#1 » by boomershadow » Thu Mar 9, 2023 11:35 am

Two of the youngest teams in the NBA will take to the hardwood on Thursday night in Indianapolis, but each squad finds itself in different situations as the postseason approaches.

The Indiana Pacers (29-37) are jockeying for positioning in the Eastern Conference standings while the Houston Rockets (15-50) have the second-worst record in the league entering Thursday night’s game at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.

we need to win for our playoff chances, and we need Houston to lose so they have one of the two worst records giving us their second round pick.

This should not have gone to overtime.

Hard fought win against a bad team but one game closer to the 31st pick in the 2nd round! Hali was on fire in the OT.

Aside from the assists Tyrese had a pretty uninspiring stat line through regulation. Overtime gave him the opportunity to fix the stat line. In the post game interview he even referenced that. Gotta love Tyrese.
