Indiana Pacers locked in to games beyond regular season, nearly done with final story-filled road trip of season

The Pacers road trip ends Wednesday

The Indiana Pacers are nearly done with their final lengthy road trip of the 2023-24 season. They take on the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday, then play five of their last eight games at home.

It has been a successful trip so far. The blue and gold are 3-1, with their only loss coming by five points against LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers. Pascal Siakam and Tyrese Haliburton have been playing well for the blue and gold.

Beyond the stars, there have been many other important stories from the Pacers current road trip. From game strategy to young players having big moments, there was a lot for fans to miss.
