Indiana at Golden State

The days of run and gun, and losses under Don Nelson have become part of the Golden State Warriors’ past. This team can still get up and down the floor, but they defend a lot better. They have finally turned the corner, and are out of the gate at 9-6. They have won and covered four of their last five and have a lot of momentum right now. The Pacers looked like an emerging team a year ago, but the loss of Danny Granger has left this team with a huge void, and they are struggling with an 8-8 record. The defense has carried the team, but without Granger to carry the offense out of rough spots, it has been a big mountain to climb. The Pacers are simply a pedestrian team for now without him. These teams are heading in opposite directions, so take on Golden St.
