In their final night of a four-game West Coast road trip, the Pacers headed to halftime on Sunday night in Los Angeles trailing the Clippers, 61-55.
Doug McDermott, starting just his second game in a Pacers uniform, got off to a hot start for Indiana. McDermott knocked down his first six shots, including three 3-pointers, as he scored 15 of the Pacers' first 23 points, helping the visitors get out to an early four-point lead.
But Marcus Morris scored seven points as the Clippers closed the frame with a 17-3 run to take a 36-26 lead into the second quarter.
