The outside world had been clamoring that the Pacers' undefeated record in November wasn't solid enough, but now, the real challenge had arrived.
The Spurs' record in November might have been a bit inferior compared to the Mavericks and Lakers, but it didn't stop them from being qualified to become a "whetstone" to test the strength of the Pacers.
They were one of the best defensive teams so far this new season.
If the Pacers' three-point shooting could still perform like it did in November against them, it would prove that the Pacers' three-point shooting this new season couldn't be underestimated by any team in the league.
The Pacers were also rubbing their hands together in eagerness, and of course, it wasn't because of those doubts from the outside world.
These media folks had nothing better to do, nitpicking like they were obsessed; if the Pacers took their words to heart, they'd do nothing but prove themselves all day long.
