The Indiana Pacers hit the road Friday night for another challenging game against LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Here's Bruno's Scouting Report which focuses on one of my favorite topics, the 3-ball. Attempts from distance are down about 5 per game so far for the Pacers, although there are several factors to take into account. First and foremost, Mike Dunleavy hasn't played. Plus, T.J. Ford and Jarrett Jack aren't 3-point shooters compared to PGs Travis Diener and Jamaal Tinsley last year. I know, Tins isn't a 3-point shooter either, but he was always good for 2 or 3 wide open attempts when he played.
Jarrett Jack (bruised knee) joined Travis Diener and Rasho Nesterovic on the day-to-day list. That's what happens when you play hoops like a head-hunting strong safety. I expect to see Jack on the court tonight. I'm not expecting Rasho to play but it sure would be nice. As we know, Mike Dunleavy is still out.
For a Cavs perspective, check out Fear The Sword.
As always, feel free to drop your thoughts on the game in the comments.

8-0 run for Cavs
Pacers up 29-28, timeout. Couple bad possessions and no stops. LeBron’s on the bench too.
Whew
Danny abuses Wally for a steal and TJ pushes a long pass to Quisy for the easy layup. Wasn’t easy, didn’t look easy, but we’ll take it. Great catch by Quisy.
Pacers back up 36-35.
Granger with 21 first half points
Good news – Pacers up 5 at half
Bad news – LeBron hasn’t been a factor and was just posterized.
Foster giving something on the O end
Earlier he had a sweet tip in and one in traffice. Now he pops in the 12-footer in the flow.
Nice half court set
Pacers gather themselves work the ball around and end up with an easy bucket for Hibbert and one.
Pacers up 74-71 end 3Q
Pacers passed the first gut check. LeBron has 12 more minutes, though. More to come…
Hibbert fouled out
Nice effort from Roy tonight, still learning.
Varejao is killing the Pacers. Tied at 84.
Cavs up 94-91 6:14 left
Feel it slipping the Cavs way. Bron will get calls while Pacers look for someone to step up.
