Grades: It’s OK to call the Indiana Pacers contenders now

The Indiana Pacers ripped off their sixth-straight win with a see-sawing victory over the Philadelphia 76ers.

Despite the 28 points and 16 rebounds by Joel Embiid in the first half, the 76ers couldn’t stop Thaddeus Young and the rest of the Pacers from slowing chipping away at their lead before taking a double-digit lead of their own.

Despite the feeling in the first half — the 76ers were dominating the Pacers — the scoreboard showed only a 10-point deficit.

Whether it was the halftime adjustments made by Nate McMillan or the fatigue of the 76ers, it completely flipped the game around.
