Pacers Win Opener

The Pacers won their season opener last night, defeating Orlando 90-78. Ron Artest, after a slow start, finished with 16 points and 5 assists. But, as the box score suggests, the win truly was a team effort.

In other sports news, my Nashville Predators, who began the season 8-0-0, lost their fourth straight last night. (To be fair, two of those four losses came in overtime or in a shootout, so the Preds still get partial credit in the standings.)
