Jan 13, 2012 - For the second time in two weeks the Indiana Pacers are headed north of the border to play the Toronto Raptors. Friday night's game follows a 90-85 Indiana win on Dec. 28 in the second game of the NBA season for the Pacers. Indiana has made it through the first ten games of the accelerated 66 game schedule at 7-3, good enough for second place in the Central Division behind Chicago. Indy Cornrows reviews the early start with announcer and former coach Slick Leonard:

Slick shared his thoughts on Lance Stephenson, Danny Granger, Roy Hibbert and Paul George along with how improved the overall club is compared to last year. He also had high praise for the coaching staff and their ability to develop the young players.

Indiana plays on the road Friday night before returning home on Saturday to face the Boston Celtics. Saturday's home crowd should be a good one, as more than 400 members of SB Nation's Hammer & Rails will welcome former Purdue stars JaJuan Johnson and E`Twaun Moore back to their home state.
