1989–90 Indiana Pacers season

The 1989–90 NBA season was the Pacers' 14th season in the National Basketball Association, and 23rd season as a franchise.[1] The Pacers had the seventh pick in the 1989 NBA draft, and selected George McCloud out of Florida State.[2][3][4][5] The Pacers would jump out of the gate fast winning their first four games, on their way to a solid 19–9 start. However, they struggled losing 14 of their next 18 games, and held a 25–23 record at the All-Star break.[6] The Pacers played around .500 for the remainder of the season, finishing fourth in the Central Division with a 42–40 record,[7] and entering the playoffs as the #8 seed in the Eastern Conference.[8]

Reggie Miller had a breakout season leading the team in scoring averaging 24.6 points per game, while becoming the first Pacer in 13 years to play in the All-Star Game, being selected for the 1990 NBA All-Star Game.[9][10] In addition, Chuck Person averaged 19.7 points and 5.8 rebounds per game, while sixth man Detlef Schrempf provided the team with 16.2 points and 7.9 rebounds per game off the bench, second-year star Rik Smits provided with 15.5 points, 6.2 rebounds and 2.1 blocks per game, and Vern Fleming contributed 14.3 points and 7.4 assists per game.[11] Miller also finished in second place in Most Improved Player voting, while Schrempf finished in second place in Sixth Man of the Year voting.[12][13][14][15]

However, in the Eastern Conference First Round of the playoffs, the Pacers were swept by the defending and eventual champion Detroit Pistons in three straight games.[16][17][18][19] The Pistons would go on to defeat the Portland Trail Blazers in five games in the NBA Finals, winning their second consecutive championship.[20][21][22][23][24]
