Pacers Magic, Heartbreak, and a Father’s Legacy | Indiana Pacers News

Eric Bond, who attended all ten Pacers playoff games in 2025 and watched them win every one, penned a heartfelt memoir titled “But This Is Indiana…” chronicling his childhood, family legacy, and deep Pacers fandom — especially bonding with his son Alex during magical moments like Tyrese Haliburton’s game-winning shot. The Pacers’ historic run to the 2025 Finals — their first since 2000 — was derailed when Haliburton tore his Achilles in Game 7, leading to a disastrous 19-63 season the next year. But now, Haliburton’s cleared to return, and the Pacers kick off their new campaign October 21st in New Orleans, with a home opener against Dallas October 23rd. Bond’s book is available now on Amazon — e-book for $4.49, paperback for $11.99. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
