The Indiana Pacers had the San Antonio Spurs down but not out in the second half on Friday and the Spurs had no problem taking advantage of the Pacers failure to finish at winning time.
The 104-97 loss will sting for the Pacers after they let a 17-point lead evaporate in a hurry. Now the Pacers have a couple of days off to make their way out to Los Angeles for their next game on Tuesday night against the Lakers. No easy task considering the Lakers are as desperate for wins as the Pacers after losing again last night to Memphis.
The Pacers will play their next four games on the road, with games at Sacramento and Golden State before they head back to the Midwest to play at Chicago. The road games are starting to stack up for the Pacers which hasn't helped with the team's inconsistent play. After this trip, the Pacers will have played 12 of their first 18 games on the road. At some point, they will have to take advantage of a more favorable schedule with more games at the Fieldhouse.
