The Pacers team became even more energized with Su Wan's cry of "Indiana, forever unenslaved." — Kidding aside, with the enthusiasm of the Indiana people right now, if anyone dared to drag the team down, they'd probably be too scared to step outside alone.
In the following period, the Pacers smoothly pulled off a "three consecutive victories." For them, having slipped to fifth in the Eastern Conference, this winning streak came very timely, lifting them back up to the fourth position.
During this streak, they defeated the Dallas Mavericks, who were currently third in the Western Conference, exacting their revenge.
Rick Carlisle said, "This is a very good sign. As long as our schedule isn't as terrible as dog shit, we have the capacity to beat many strong teams in the league. We can also look forward to Reggie's return, adding firepower to our bench!"
Improving their record was one thing, on the other hand, the Pacers also made a tactical breakthrough.
