The Pacers take on the Toronto Raptors tonight in Toronto. After the chaos-filled past couple of days, I'm sure they're glad to be on the road. Of course, Shawne Williams stayed behind to tend to his business and try to limit the chaos. Now Danny Granger has been suspended one game for hitting Andres Nocioni in the Bulls game. Wow, missed that one.
Here's Bruno's Scouting Report which focuses on the fine contributions of late from Troy Murphy. He's been making things happen consitently over the past few weeks and certainly deserves the high praise.
Here's a Q&A I did for my man Connor at HoopsAddict.com and another for Jeff at The Score.
Here's what the efficiency numbers say:

| TOR | 88.0(27th) | 113.1(4th) | 107.4(11th) |
