Another poor defensive effort led the way for the Indiana Pacers, resulting in a second straight loss for the first time this season. The Pacers lost late to the Sacramento Kings, surrendering a season high 127 points, two nights after surrendering a season high 125 points to Phoenix.
The Pacers couldn’t ask for a better start, forcing a timeout barely a minute into the game after scoring six quick, easy points. Unfortunately, they weren’t able to build on that lead, allowing Sacramento to hang around long enough for the game to settle into a back-and-forth affair.
