It was an exciting game in March. In the end, I don't think home court makes as much difference in the playoffs as having everyone as healthy as possible. As long as you get at least the 6th seed and don't have to deal with the play-in (and avoid the top 2 seeds as long as possible) you are better off.
The bigger concern is that the Pacers missed a lot of open shots last night and still were able to steal a win. Lopez is targeted over and over on switches. He's just not playable against the lineups they use. They get him switched onto Haliburton and it's a blow by almost every time.
Also, I don't think it was Doc's fault for the poor way they played the final Pacers shot. But I don't know why Lopez is on the floor in that situation.
