For an idea how the fourth quarter went for the Indiana Pacers against the Orlando Magic, one doesn’t have to look far. In fact, they only have to look at the last two meetings between these teams, where the Pacers suffered a road loss on January 31 and a home loss on March 2.
The common theme? The Pacers once again led after three and once again collapsed in the fourth quarter, resulting in a maddening, avoidable loss once again. The Pacers were never able to really take control of the game, which ultimately led to the collapse.
