Although Indiana should have more wins after blowing fourth-quarter leads, the positives outweigh the negatives for this team's future.
If nothing else comes from this Indiana Pacers season of transition, they have added an important piece in rookie forward Myles Turner.
That reality can be ignored when this team loses so many close games, but so many people live in a sports world of immediacy that demands satisfaction here and now, and it doesn’t usually work like that.
If anything, the Pacers are ahead of schedule after improving to 27-24 with a 112-104 home victory Saturday over the Detroit Pistons at Bankers Life Fieldhouse.
