INDIANAPOLIS -- After a trip to London to play the Denver Nuggets, the Indiana Pacers return home on Monday to square off against the New Orleans Pelicans. The Pacers (20-19) had won five straight games before their abysmal defensive effort in London, as they gave up 140 points in the loss to Denver.
"We didn't show up," Pacers coach Nate McMillan said after the game. "I don't have a reason for that. Just total domination by Denver."
Glenn Robinson III added: "We didn't bring it defensively. We didn't play the same way that we've been playing.
