In their most recent match against the Orlando Magic, despite falling short by seven points with a final score of 110-117, the Pacers demonstrated strong offensive capabilities. They shot an impressive 52 percent from the field and an even more remarkable 44 percent from beyond the arc. However, turnovers were an issue as they gave up possession 15 times.


The game before that saw them losing to Memphis Grizzlies by a margin of 13 points (103-116). Their shooting percentage dipped slightly to 42 percent overall but maintained consistency from long range at 35 percent. Turnovers continued to plague them with another tally of 17.


However, it's not all gloom for Indiana; in one of their standout performances against Charlotte Hornets, they dominated with a staggering scoreline of 144-113. The team's efficiency was through the roof as they shot an incredible 61 percent from the field and matched that excellence from downtown hitting at a rate of 46 percent.


As we look ahead to their next challenge in Houston, maintaining control over possession will be crucial for Indiana if they wish to secure victory on enemy territory. Fans should expect high-intensity basketball as both teams vie for dominance on court.


The upcoming game is scheduled for December 27th at Toyota Center in Houston. Tip-off is set for local time (US/Central), and fans can catch all action live on NBA TV or follow along through local broadcasts BSIN or Space City Home Network depending on your location.
