They don’t appear to have much of a chance at competing should they make the playoffs, and it might be in their best interests to trade a couple players and re-tool a bit around Paul George. That being said, they are still fighting and are coming away with some wins.

Rodney Stuckey scored 22 points for the second straight game to lead the Pacers, and shot 8-13 from the floor. Roy Hibbert also came through with a big performance. scoring 18 points to go along with 10 rebounds on the night. The Pacers need both of these guys to continue playing at a high level to have any chance at turning their season around.
