Orlando stunned Indiana Saturday night with an outright win that paid out exceptional odds for anyone who had the Magic on the moneyline.
Jason Richardson and Jameer Nelson scored 17 points apiece to help sixth-seeded Orlando win 81-77. The Magic’s leading scorer, Dwight Howard, remains out.
"We're all we got," said Howard’s replacement, Glen Davis, who had 16 points and 13 rebounds. "We're not trying to impress the doubters or make them believe. Only if we believe. When we believe, there's unlimited things that we can do. We've been through a lot mentally, physically. We've overcame and did a great job out there today."
For those out there thinking the Pacers might come back big, you may want to think again as past trends suggest otherwise.
The Pacers are 1-5 Against The Spread in their last 6 games following a ATS loss and they are a dismal 1-10-1 ATS in their last 12 playoff games as a favorite.
The Magic, meanwhile, are 13-3 ATS in their last 16 vs. NBA Central.
