Heading into the fourth quarter, the Pacers were in a great position to take over and win their third game of the season. However, a demoralizing 20-6 run by the Timberwolves ended this game. The game was a back and forth affair during the first three quarters but Minnesota dominated the fourth.
The story of this game, as we all expected, was the stellar play of the Timberwolves’ bench and the disappointing showing by Indiana’s. Coming into this game, the Pacers’ bench had been the most productive in the league. That production sputtered tonight; Tyreke Evans scored two points and Doug McDermott couldn’t get onto the score sheet.
