Teams that make midseason trades usually have to show patience while the new players adapt to their surroundings.

But that wasn't the case for the Indiana Pacers on Friday, as the unfamiliar faces provided instant gratification and the familiar ones looked mostly lost in a 103-93 loss to Cleveland at Conseco Fieldhouse.

 




Brad Miller, Ron Artest and Kevin Ollie, who had gone through two practices since Tuesday's trade from Chicago, combined to hit 20-of-27 shots. The holdover Pacers hit just 17-of-52 attempts, and most of them did little else to contribute.
