--The turnover problems continue for the Pacers. Indiana had its fourth game of at least 20 turnovers when it committed 21 against the Heat. "We weren't making good passes, and we were lackadaisical with the ball," said F Danny Granger, who had a game-high six turnovers. "As usual, we're going to lose when we have that many turnovers."
--The road continues to be a tough place for the Pacers. They're 1-4 away from home this season, with their lone victory coming against a New Jersey team that didn't have starting PG Devin Harris. The Pacers play two more road games -- at Dallas and Houston -- before returning home. --The Pacers have led at the half in eight games this season. Too bad they've lost five of those games, including blowing leads of 15 and 26 points in the first half against Miami and Philadelphia, respectively.
--The Pacers have scored at least 30 points in the first quarter four of the last five games. The big scoring burst didn't stop them from losing three of those four games.
QUOTE TO NOTE: "We get the lead and then lose the game. We should let the other team start winning and come back at the end." -- F Danny Granger.
