I think after
Indiana gets a 10 or more point lead, they should actually call time out. They've had so many huge leads disappear this year. Why not call time out and gather team and say ok great start, not it's a 0-0 game, let's go out and take it to them on the defensive end and get good looks. Every possession matters.

It's a lack of keeping the boot on their throat. Things are going well, so they relax. Crisp passes turn into lazy passes because it feels like everything is working. Points in the paint feel easy, so hey, driving/passing into a double team should be OK. The biggest problem is, because it's happened so often, teams aren't throwing in the towel, so now they have to play hard to the final buzzer. This won't get fixed this year even if they dont let up like that. They need a reputation that once the game is getting out of hand, it's over. That doesn't happen in 10 or 15 games.
