Game Thread 03/21: Pacers v. Pelicans

Six weeks to the day after a leak in the roof at the Smoothie King Center forced a rare postponement, the Pacers and Pelicans will meet again in New Orleans. With both teams in the thick of playoff races in their respective conferences, Wednesday's game has even more significance than their originally-scheduled meeting on Feb. 7 would have.
Both Indiana and New Orleans have played very good basketball since that date, with the Blue & Gold going 11-6 over that span and the Pelicans going 12-5.
The Pacers (41-30) are coming off a bounce-back win over the Lakers on Monday night that snapped a two-game skid. Indiana is on track to lock up a playoff berth as early as this week, but its seeding is still far from determined. Just 1.5 games currently separate third through sixth place in the Eastern Conference standings.

Tough one tonight. Pels have been playing very well. At least we catch them coming off a B2B.

Hope this game means as much to the Pacers as it does to the Pelicans. Pacers are a virtual lock for the playoffs and Pelicans can't afford a home loss. Let's gooooo

We keep getting to the rim and not getting points once we're there.

Myles is playing really solid defense on Anthony Davis. Pacers are getting good looks. They're getting second chance points.They're getting to the rim. They're just ice cold.

Pacers shooting under 40% and keeping the lead late in the 3rd. Good sign but pelicans wont go away..

Turner has been great against AD. Problem is that AD is so good that he will still put up good numbers.

everything going wrong. Cavs and Hornets both came back to win and we can't hit a thing and they're banging 3s.

I've gotten so used to expecting a win this season when things get close near the end
