Pacers Shoot 55%, Blast Raptors 130-101
Although the Indiana Pacers more than likely will not make the playoffs, you cannot accuse them of playing out the string.

They brought an 11-game winning streak into Conseco Fieldhouse Tuesday as they took on the Indiana Pacers, who are very much missing leading scorer Danny Granger (torn tendon – foot) and Mike Dunleavy (knee). But turnovers would prove [...]
