The Indiana Pacers-Houston Rockets game on March 27 at the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas could very well be a preview of what’s going to happen in Manila in October.

The Pacers—currently at the top of the Central Division—bring with them the smooth chemistry forged between their veterans and talented young players. Indiana has a firm grip on to the top spot with a full 5 games lead on the second place Chicago Bulls.

The Rockets—powered by The Beard and Linsanity—hope to fight all the way to the end of the regular season to clinch sixth or at least seventh spot in the playoffs.
