INDIANAPOLIS - No one is getting worse bang for their buck in their home market than the Indiana Pacers these days.

The Pacers are one of the top teams in the Eastern Conference this year and having lost just three of 23 games at home this year boast one of the best home records in the NBA.

They own a 11/2-game lead in the Eastern Conference’s Central division, and sit a 11/2 games out of second in the East, a spot currently held by the New York Knicks.

But the Indianapolis market has remained very cold to the Pacers.
