(NBA) Indiana vs. Boston,
Point Spread: 6.50 | -105.00 Indiana (Away)
Result: Loss
The Pacers did most things right in a 123-115 win at Cleveland on Tuesday night in the opener of a back-to-back sequence. Indiana won for the seventh time in its last eight games mainly on the strength of 53.8 percent shooting, with Thaddeus Young and Bojan Bogdanovic combining for 49 points on 20-for-30 shooting. The Pacers, who have won seven of their past eight games, held the Cavaliers to 43 points in the first half en route to a 20-point lead, before coasting home. The focus of Monday's practice was on 3-point defense after the Pacers had allowed Toronto to make 17 of 33 from beyond the arc on Sunday. That will come in handy against the Celtics tonight and I like the way INdiana plays defense. I'm taking the points with the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday night.
