Two in a row, baby! The Pacers are an unstoppable force. In all seriousness, the win against the Heat is the type of game I expected to see a lot more of this year. Miami had a terrible shooting night and the Pacers capitalized with solid play of their own. It's somewhat amazing that we went what felt like years without that happening but I'm not complaining.
I'm also not complaining about the play of Andrew Nembhard. His strong showings (and ability to take care of the ball) in the wins earned him a nomination for Conference Player of the Week.

The Pacers are back in action against the Celtics who, you could argue, they should have beat already this year. Boston is red hot, going 5-2 over the past two weeks behind the league's best offense during that stretch.
