INDIANA PACERS: The Pacers were the team for the first four months of the season and still were good enough to earn the top seed in the East but no team’s fortunes have changed as dramatically as this group’s. Paul George won’t play and Lance Stephenson is in Charlotte. That puts more of the focus on David West and his reliable mid-range jump shot. West will keep putting in the work and now it’s up to the rest of the Pacers to follow suit, especially Roy Hibbert.
