The second night of a back-to-back blues caught the Indiana Pacers against the New Orleans Pelicans as the bottom fell out on the blue and gold after the first quarter. Indiana pieced together an impressive first quarter, outscoring the Pelicans 32-19 after a T.J. McConnell buzzer beater.
In the quarter, the Pacers did a much better job on the glass. They pulled in five offensive rebounds, leading to six second chance points. The good times didn’t last, however. To open the second, the Pacers missed their first six shots, committing a pair of turnovers.
