Pacers final score: Spurs bully Pacers 110-99
At the 6:54 mark of the second quarter, the Indiana Pacers, led by George Hill and Chris Duarte, ran off eight straight points to take a 44-33 lead. That run was itself a response to a 10-2 run by the San Antonio Spurs, the first real signs of life from San Antonio after a successful first quarter by the Pacers.
Out of a timeout, the Spurs took charge. They responded with five straight and tied the game at 46-46. Indiana did manage to push things back out to six, but they didn’t realize at the time they were already finished. The Spurs cut the lead to two heading into the break and scored the first 11 of the third quarter, taking a nine-point lead.
