The Pacers won on Tuesday night in Bankers Life Fieldhouse, defeating the Utah Jazz 104-99. At times, they looked impressive. Other times, they looked desperate. No time to dwell, as game two of the seven-games-in-nineten-nights tour is scheduled for Wednesday in Atlanta. The Pacers have lost eight straight times there, so it’s gonna be a challenge. It’s time for another Twitter video preview – I’ll give you my thoughts in 140 seconds or less.

I think it’s 7 games in 10 nights…next week is TWR instead of MTW.
Yup. Fixed. Thanks
this season seems to be a real test of teams, the compact nature of the schedule puts some pressure on teams to coast when they can and run hard when they have to. turning off and on that switch takes some real talent, sure hope the Pacers leave the switch on from the opening jump tonight…..
I have a good feeling about tonight’s game. We seem to be breaking road losing streaks all over the country this year, so hopefully that continues. I think the Pacers channeled Eli Manning’s sentiments last night…”Coach, this is too easy…we need to make it tougher, so lets blow this lead and pull it out in dramatic fashion for the fans.”
