Indiana Pacers still reeling from Game 5 spanking
flayers blame tbeir
lack of aggressiveness
for their 106-87 loss
to the Bulls in Game 5
By Chris Sheridan
The Associated Press
INDIANAPOLIS — To say the
Indiana Pacers have put the Game
5 loss to the Chicago Bulls behind
them would be untrue.
Clearly, the Bulls’ 106-87 rout
on Wednesday night has planted
the seeds of self-doubt in the
heads of the Pacers.
“It would have been different if
this was the first game and we had
been blown out,” Antonio Davis
said. “But we got blown out in the
fifth game and that hurts. It hurt
everybody.”
It also left Indiana only one
game away from elimination in
the Eastern Conference finals.
Head coach Larry Bird made the
team watch a tape of the entire first
half of the game, and it was not a
pretty picture.
The Pacers did none of the
things they needed to do, from de
terring Scottie Pippen’s relentless
drives to the basket to setting the
picks Reggie Miller needs to have
a clean look on his jump shot.
“To lose the way we did really
affects your pride,” Rik Smits said.
“The way we struggled, that af
fects confidence. I mean, we
missed 18 field goals in a row.
That gets to you at a certain point.”
Jalen Rose, suspended for Game
5 for leaving the bench during a
late altercation in Game 4, wasn't
able to watch the game from his
hotel room after the staff kicked
him out when the rest of the team
checked out.
He ended up watching the game
on television in a meeting room,
and he wasn’t ordering up room
service as the rout unfolded.
“I had no appetite,” he said.
Each of the Pacers pointed to ag
gressiveness as the key missing
component, and a few of them al
most admitted that their confi
dence could
be dimin
ished going
into Game 6
Friday night.
I look at it from the standpoint
that it can’t get any worse,” said
Miller, who appeared stunned by
the magnitude of Indiana’s defeat.
The Pacers went into the game
knowing they had a chance to
move within one victory of elimi
nating the two-time defending
champions, and Bird was certain
his veteran-laden team would rise
to the challenge.
That’s what made the collective
no-show all the more discouraging.
“It was mind-boggling to me,”
Bird said. “Maybe they were
caught up in everything going on
around them. It was a big game
and I expected them to play harder
and more aggressive, but it just
wasn’t there.
“I don’t think [the Bulls] played
any better than they did in any
other games, they just didn’t get
any resistance from us. They
looked better because we didn’t
play,” Bird said.
The Pacers' only remaining
hope is a comeback similar to that
two months ago following the
worst offensive performance in
NBA history — a measly 55-point
output against San Antonio that
was the lowest point total in the
league’s 51 years of business.
Indiana followed with a 128
point outburst in the next game,
and the Pacers haven’t lost at
home since, including a perfect 7
0 record in the playoffs.
The Bulls have been especially
tough to beat when they have the
opportunity to close out a series.
Not since 1996, when they had a
3-0 lead in the Finals over Seattle
and went on to win in six games,
have they blown a chance to close
out a series.
In this year’s playoffs, they had
two of their best overall games in
the cl i nchers over New Jersey and
Charlotte.
Last year, they came back from
Utah with a 3-2 lead in the Finals
and finished off the Jazz in Game 6.
“No one can think we can take
this score and that it will be attribut
able to Friday's game,” said Chicago
coach Phil Jackson, who gave his
team the day off Thursday. “Fri
day’s game will be a different mat
ter. The key is we’re going to have
to play a good game on the road if
we are to get to the next series. ”
