Pacers loose 3 straight
Pacers 81-95 Timberwolves
Well the Pacers aren't looking so good early on loosing 3 straight games. This time they lost to the upset team Minnesota Timberwolves. Amazingly T'Wolves even though loosing Al Jefferson are 4-2 this season so far. Kurt Rambis was happy with he's team performance, while Jim O'Brien wasn't so satisfied. For the Pacers it was Danny Granger who again led the team in scoring with 27 points. For Minnesota it was Jonny Flynn and Michael Beasley who were the leaders.
Indiana got off in to an early start winning the first quarter by 6 points. But in the 2nd quarter Minnesota answered right back behind Jonny Flynn and Minnesota now lead 48-41 at the half. But in the 2nd half the Pacers were with same problems - rebounding, shooting, turnovers. Minnesota used it and won the match.
In an interview Larry Bird promised to make great moves this season to the press. He announced the first one right away. Indiana Pacers fired head coach Larry O'Brien and hired himself as the head coach. Will after this head coach change Pacers will manage to comeback? What other changes will Larry Bird make? Are the Timberwolves going the path of the Thunder?
