PrintHouston Rockets at Indiana Pacers, Oct 16, 2009 7:00 PM EDT
The Indiana Pacers play the front end of back-to-back games tonight at Conseco Fieldhouse against the Houston Rockets. The Rockets are on the back end of a back-to-back after beating the Toronto Raptors last night 124-112.
Here is some great pre-game reading material from Conrad Brunner on the Pacers dealing with a challenging preseason schedule as well as adjusting back to the local time zone.
No local TV for this one so you'll have to rely on the HD visuals from the call by Mark Boyle and Slick Leonard, unless you can track down the Rockets' broadcast at which point I'd suggest muting the broadcast and still listening to Boyle and Slick.
For the Houston perspective, check out The Dream Shake. Please leave your thoughts and observations on the game in the comments.

Murph hits a shot INSIDE the arc
after a Hibby block. I guess Murph has been practicing the mid-range game.
There's some classic Foster
Tangled up with a couple of Rockets, he gets a one-armed rebound and draws a shooting foul.
How has Rush looked so far?
Glad to see some offense and no turnovers from TJ.
Insanity is just a state of mind.
Splashed nothing but net
He just about shot another but was covered and swung it to TJ who eventually set up Granger for a 3.
P’s up 51-32
Is it necessary for Jeff Foster to wear a headband with his face mask?
It’s sort of like wearing tube socks with Birkenstocks
Luther!
Splash and one from behind the arc. Beautiful. He was run over by Brian Cook but the ball just popped the net clean. May have had a toe on the line.
Halftime box highlights
Rockets shooting 39.5%, Pacers have 8 steals and only 3 turnovers.
Granger 19 points, TJ 11 points, 5 assists, 3 steals
Pacers up 84-64 midway through 3Q
offense coming easy. Murph has it going this quarter.
Foster won’t play in the second half. Precautionary back rest after first 13 minutes of playing time in the first half.
End 3Q P's up 100-77
Murph now has 17. DJones with 11.
Luther and Dhantay love to get out and run. Fun to watch.
Nice take by AJ breaks the drought
Roberts, Benson and Nichols on with AJ and Luther. Landry and Pops are having their way inside for the Rockets.
