Indiana will be wearing those awful city uniforms. Wont matter if they continue to play the way they have been. Go Pacers

Are those the new ones we recently got a sneak peek at? Those are ugly. At least the peek we got was ugly.

Having a “construction” theme jerseys is next level bad. They’ll go down as one of the worst in history imo

Yup. Apparently the league partner brought a WORSE design to the Pacers and Indy had something, like 12 hours to work with them on a new theme and design, and this is what we got.

Uniform isn't as bad when worn as in pictures.

I missed most of the game switching to football and election results.

Toronto playing 2nd night of back to back and short handed. Looked like they ran out of gas. Part of growing is winning games you are supposed to win. I think tonight’s game falls into that category. Myles continuing to be very solid.

I agree that the Raptors ran out of gas. Also Pacers figured out how to defend them better in second half.

I also agree that this is a great win beating a team that they should have and could have easily fell short at the end to lose another heartbreaker.

I had this game as a loss before it started even with Van Vleet and Siakam out.

Pacers hit big shots and defended down the stretch unlike last game.

I got so wrapped up in the election coverage that I missed everything but the post-game show. It sounded like the Raptors were partially victims of injuries and the schedule. The NBA still has work to do on their scheduling, it would seem.

Seeing highlights, I think you are right about the uniforms. They don't look as bad in use as they did in the sneak peek shots.

I didn't even notice that they were wearing the city uniforms
