After a first game scare, The Indiana Pacers ended the series the way most predicted, coming out on top in the end to dominate a handicapped Orlando Magic team.

But they clearly seemed to be young and inexperienced in the playoffs. Lacking Veteran leadership and fulfilling the empty slot with youth and 2nd Half explosions. The Magic played shoot to win, and when the shots was falling they still looked hard to beat. But as the shots fell short, So did they.

Its the first time the Indiana Pacers have advanced past the first round since 2006. Reggie Miller was in his last year of basketball and Rick Carlisle was on his way out of town. There seemed to be no savior in sight. With down season after down season only the faithful fans stuck by.

Now after a Convincing 1st round win, Confidence on the rise, And a team that reminds you of the 2006 Detroit Pistons.

Their reward? The Miami Heat(or carmelo anthony). This will be a great series to watch. The pacers have the youth and speed to run with the Heat. But do they have the Defense? The 2011-2012 Series between the two was taken by Miami. Easily dominating the first 3 Games.

Miami-118-83
Miami-105-90
Miami-93-91 OT

Indiana won the most recent match up on March 26 105-90. It could be a glimpse of how far along this team has came during the regular season. All and all it will make an interesting Series.

When Granger can stay healthy and hot this team is good. But after a easy test int he first round where about to see just how good they are.
