A lights-out offensive showcase from both the Indiana Pacers and Philadelphia 76ers favored the road Sixers in the end as the Pacers came apart at the seams in the fourth quarter. In a game neither team led by more than six up until the final quarter, Philadelphia used a crucial 10-0 run to go up by double figures, holding off Indiana down the stretch as the Pacers struggled with turnovers and missed free throws.
It was a frustrating loss for a number of reasons, but it starts with Indiana’s fourth quarter offense, mustering up “just” 29 points in one of the highest scoring games of the year.
