In Indiana, the Pacers squeaked past the Kings 100-96. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Pacers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Pacers' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Pacers locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
