That WAS an exciting weekend. And yeah, Green SHOULD have won the Sprite Slam Dunk contest. But, 'Nique should have beat out Jordan, too. We digress... time to get back to Pacer Basketball!
The Pacers play the second placed Knicks on Wednesday at The Bank and it is going to be a great game. Both teams have 32 wins (NYK only ahead of Indiana as the Pacers have played / lost more games). Both teams are fighting hard for that second spot in the East. Both teams have lost extremely close games to a sub-par Toronto team recently. And both teams are hungry to catch a win after the all-star break to get the latter part of the season rolling.
The Knicks are on a two game losing streak despite a double-double from Anthony against Toronto and MONSTER numbers against L.A. (Clippers) in their previous game. The Pacers are wanting to start a streak coming off a win that showed us all why Paul George is an All-Star. Brady sits for his Pro Bowl, George throws up a triple-double before all-star weekend. You know, some got it... some don't. 
We look forward to a stellar, and league leading, Indiana defense to stave off Anthony and NYK and hold it down at home - like they always do. This game should really be insightful as to how both teams may perform in the playoffs. Oh, and yeah, in case the hype of all-star weekend got you all crazy, Granger is supposed to be returning for this game. The Bank is going to go OFF.
Tickets for Wednesday's game are still available on stubhub.com and start at $2.95 for uppers. Get out there and support our Pacers!
