As has been mentioned, Tyler would have been a help. Both Amir and JV were clearly tired with the effort they were putting out. Travel, whatever, it looked like they could have used a little more time on the bench.
I wonder if the travel screw ups hurt the Raps preparation for this game. As in, did Indiana have an easier time of it game planning the Raps, whether because of the Raps focus on Miami, and then the layover, or is that just an easy excuse? Clearly, as has been noted above, the Indiana defense made adjustments. did Casey and his assistants not have the same opportunities?
