Coming off a tough loss against the Memphis Grizzlies, the Pacers are in Houston to take on a rebuilding Rockets squad. The Blue & Gold have won the last four games in the head-to-head series.
After a few first-quarter miscues, Indiana outscored the Rockets, 33-24 in the second quarter to take a 61-56 lead into the locker room at halftime.
A pair of Pacers big men put on a show in the first half, helping the squad through its struggles. Starting in place of Isaiah Jackson, Goga Bitadze has 14 points on a perfect 6-of-6 shooting, including two triples.
