Net Cords: Pacers Advance, We Were There And Have The Video

The Indiana Pacers have a long and proud basketball tradition. They've been down for awhile but are back in the NBA Playoff mix thanks to some smart draft picks, good use of their salary cap, and the offseason additions of David West via free agency and George Hill via trade.

For fans in the Hoosier State, Wednesday's first-round win over the Orlando Magic was satisfying. SB Nation's Pacers site, Indy Cornrows, has been there through recent struggles and they were there in the locker room to capture Wednesday's celebration with both a written recap and a video report.

Over the past few years I’ve seen a dejected Granger sitting in front of his locker following a game revealing a sullen face and barely audible answers far too many times. I’ve also seen him upbeat and verbose following wins and big scoring nights. But the palpable elation on Granger’s face following his team’s Game 5 win over the Orlando Magic on Tuesday night was new.

[...]The Pacers are officially back in the mix in the NBA, now as one of what will be the final eight teams still playing for a championship.
