Making a brief pit stop at home between a pair of long road trips, the Pacers took a 70-60 lead over the Philadelphia 76ers into halftime on Saturday night at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.
Philly got off to a fast start on Saturday night. The Sixers hit six of their first seven shots — including two threes and a layup by Tobias Harris — to jump out to an early 14-8 lead.
Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle took a timeout at that point and Indiana quickly righted the ship. Indiana reeled off an impressive 16-4 run out of the break, getting stops on one end and getting out in transition and sharing the ball on the other.
