Looking to snap a four-game skid, the Pacers took a 58-47 lead over the Washington Wizards into halftime on Monday night at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.
The Pacers had fallen into an early hole in recent losses, but Domantas Sabonis scored four quick points and then Myles Turner added five straight as Indiana jumped out to an 11-5 lead on Monday. The Wizards responded with a 10-3 surge to take a brief lead, but the Blue & Gold quickly reeled off eight points in a little over a minute, with Jeremy Lamb knocking down two jumpers and then Malcolm Brogdon capping the spurt with a steal and slam.
