ONE OF THE WORST TEAM 2021/2022

The 2021-22 Indiana Pacers were one of the worst teams in the NBA in crunch time ever. They played in 45 games that featured "clutch" time, which the NBA defines as a game that is within five points with five minutes or less to go, and they went 11-34 in those games. They could not finish tight battles, and they were miserable on both ends of the court.

"For real," Pacers center Myles Turner emphasized of last year's Pacers clutch struggles while a question was being asked to him about this season's team.

This year, the Pacers have a new-look group. The front office reshaped the roster starting last February, and the team is in a self-described, "new era." The remodeled Pacers are doing something that they absolutely could not do last season — they are winning close games.
