On Friday night the Indiana Pacers were looking to wrap up a solid week at home. After their record third-quarter performance against the Denver Nuggets earlier in the week, they welcomed to Conseco Fieldhouse the Houston Rockets, who were clearly better than their 1-4 record.
The Rockets were without Aaron Brooks and Yao Ming, but former Indiana Pacer Brad Miller led the charge for the Rockets, as they defeated the Pacers. Yao had suffered a sprained ankle earlier in the week and would be out for the next week, at least. I was really looking forward to the matchup of Ming and Roy Hibbert on the inside, but we will have to wait until later in the season.
