Saturday night, the Indiana Pacers defeated the New York Knicks 123-109. The victory was their fifth in a row, and I hope for their sake it distracted them from what transpired a few hours later in San Antonio. I’ll admit to being something of a Pacers sympathizer since back in the Reggie-Smits-Davis-Davis-Jackson days, and I’d hate to see them or their fans suffer at the sight of another Davis, one “Dah-viss” Bertans, torching the Charlotte Hornets for 21 points on 6 shots.
Why would the Pacers suffer from seeing Davis pummel a key Eastern Conference competitor? Because Bertans, you may recall, was the second player the Spurs received in the.
