Magic Look for Revenge on Pacers After Pitiful Game Against Boston
Leading off from a valiant – but fruitless – first round playoff effort in 2011 against the Chicago Bulls, the Indiana Pacers have come roaring back to start the 2011-2012 season. The organization is experiencing its best early record in the previous eight years, but are still struggling when facing the more talented teams in the league.
However, the Orlando Magic are a fearsome opponent that are 11-5 on the year so far. And recent history is all on Orlando’s side. The Magic have defeated the Pacers in Indiana in every one of the previous three matchups of the two.
Both teams come into this game with a 7-3 record over their previous ten contests. The Pacers have a 5-0 record at home so far, while the Magic are 5-3 away from home. Expect Orlando to make a surprisingly strong showing after their disastrous 87-56 blowout to the Boston Celtics a few days ago.
