The Indiana Pacers are in the midst of a five-game road trip and currently sit 11-11 on the road. Only three times in the past decade have the Pacers finished the season with a winning road record. The Blue and Gold compiled a 21-20 road record in both 2017/18 and 2013/14, and they finished with an impressive 19-14 in the lockout shortened 2011/12 season. Can they finish this season with a winning record?
Winning on the road is imperative to playoff success. All great playoff teams can win both at home and in enemy territory. Last year’s NBA champions, the Toronto Raptors, won huge playoff games in both Milwaukee in the Conference Finals and in Oakland in the NBA Finals.
