The Pacers hosted the Philadelphia 76ers for their final home game of the season at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.
Although the Sixers arrived as advertised, the young Blue & Gold squad gave it their all during Fan Appreciation Night. After falling behind by as many as 27, the squad battled back to come within four points of the lead. But, Joel Embiid and company stopped the comeback and came away with a 131-122 win over the Pacers.
The Sixers (49-30) scored 82 first-half points and shot a scorching 57.5 percent (23-of-40) from beyond the arc. Tyrese Maxey (30 points, seven assists) tallied a career-high eight triples – seven in the first half.
