Just past the quarter-mark of the season, the Pacers aren't where they want to be. At 9-15 after dropping three straight games, the Blue & Gold are searching for answers after a string of close losses.
Indiana is six games under .500, but has a positive point differential on the season, a clear sign that the team is better than its record. But after Wednesday's 114-111 loss to Atlanta, the Pacers are just 1-7 in games decided by three points or less. Those seven losses don't even count last Wednesday's overtime defeat against the Lakers, another game that could have been a win if just a play or two unfolded differently.
