If you had missed the game and had walked into the Indiana Pacers’ locker room on Saturday afternoon, you wouldn’t have been able to figure out what happened.
There was no music pumping, no hooting, no hollering. Most of the players had already streamed out of the room for the team bus. George Hill quietly went about putting on his suit while Ty Lawson sat in his stall in an oversized pink T-shirt, eating a post-game meal out of a plastic dish. It was so businesslike that you’d never know how good business was in the Pacers’ 100-90 win over the Toronto Raptors.
