The Indiana Pacers made it six in a row last night in New Orleans with their favorable schedule about to hit a few pot holes on the road to the playoffs.
Against the Hornets, the Pacers simply had to stay focused and as Frank Vogel said after the game, "They were obviously fatigued and we just took care of our business." So now the fun begins with the next nine games on the schedule against quality teams.
But forget looking ahead, the Pacers have never been good at that task. Besides, just looking at the next game, the Chicago Bulls at the United Center, is enough for right now. The Pacers took down the Bulls at the UC earlier in the year so they won't catch Derrick Rose and the boys off-guard. Chicago does have to play a tough game on Sunday night at the Philadelphia 76ers, but they will be ready to roll on Monday night.
