Both the Indiana Pacers and Minnesota Timberwolves fought back and forth through the first three quarters, neither team seeking to seize control of the game. However, that may have largely been due to Minnesota’s lack of shot-making abilities. The Pacers led 73-72 heading into the fourth quarter, but by not looking at the score, it’d be hard to imagine the Pacers were within 20.
Indiana never looked comfortable in tonight’s game and that came back on them when the Timberwolves blitzed the Pacers to start the fourth on a 12-0 run. The run featured a lot of Derrick Rose, but also featured two threes, something Minnesota couldn’t buy for prior to the fourth.
