The Indiana Pacers are now back in the comfortable surroundings of Conseco Fieldhouse but even being within familiar surroundings was not enough to end their latest losing streak.  

The Pacers went into the fourth quarter tied with the New Orleans Hornets but scored just 12 points over the remaining 12 minutes, setting up their 11th loss in 12 games.

'Perhaps the Indiana Pacers should hold a retro night. One that would recall the glory days of, say, November,' writes Indianapolis Star journalist Mark Montieth.

They're just one game ahead of Philadelphia, whom they visit tonight, in third place in the Eastern Conference and 11/2 games ahead of the Hornets, who have won nine of their past 10 games.
