Frank Vogel has said that the Indiana Pacers did not play well in their defeat to the Charlotte Bobcats last night.
The Eastern Conference leaders slipped to their second defeat this week as they lost 109-87.
The coach told reporters: "Charlotte's a good basketball team. They're rested. We are coming in here in this situation in their house. We beat them pretty handily the first couple of times. So, we knew they were going to come out and we were going to have to play great and we didn't play great."
Despite the defeat, the Pacers are now guaranteed a place in the playoffs.
