The rebound battle is a major factor in winning basketball games and the Indiana Pacers must improve in this area to reach its full potential.
The Pacers currently rank 27th in the league in rebounds per game. Only the Chicago Bulls, Sacramento Kings, and Washington Wizards rebound at a worse rate than the Pacers.
All those teams are sitting outside of the playoffs.
The Pacers have struggled going 3-7 in the last 10 games, a large part of that due to being outrebounded. But these woes are nothing new.
The Blue and Gold have only won the rebounding battle three times this season.
