Greatest Pacers Games: A Top Ten List

As a basketball fan growing up in Indiana, I have been a fan of the NBA’s Indiana Pacers as long as I can remember.  Admittedly, my level of interest over the years has varied based on how good the team has been, so I should preface this by acknowledging that I haven’t paid much attention over the past couple of years.  But for a certain period of time during the 1990s and early 2000s, plus another window during part of the 2010s, the month of May became associated with exciting Pacers’ playoff runs.  As the team has not been very good in recent years, I got to thinking as the calendar turned to May this year of how I missed good Pacers playoff basketball.

Back in 2020, I made a list of what I considered to be the top ten greatest games in the history of my favorite football team – the Indianapolis Colts.  Inspired by that, I thought I would take a walk down memory lane and make a similar list here – a top ten list of the greatest games in the history of the Indiana Pacers.  I figured that creating this list would give me an opportunity to go back and re-live some good Pacers moments from previous years, most of which came during the month of May.
