Pacers final score: Jazz overwhelm Pacers 104-84
A promising 10-4 start for the Indiana Pacers deflated almost immediately as they surrounded a pair of 7-0 runs to the Utah Jazz, turning a positive into a double figure deficit. The Pacers trailed by 12 after the first quarter, a gap they wound up chasing the rest of the night.
The Jazz pushed the lead to 17 in the third quarter and Indiana’s best response of the night was halted at seven. A 10-point deficit heading into the fourth could have been manageable, but a 9-0 Jazz run to start the fourth put the nail in the coffin, sending the Pacers to a frustrating, lopsided home loss.
