The Pacers snapped their three-game home losing streak in impressive fashion on Wednesday, running the score up and then holding on to beat the Timberwolves, 141-137.
Playing without Malcolm Brogdon, Domantas Sabonis and Myles Turner, the game started with obvious concerns about how the Pacers might find their points, let alone keep Minny from scoring. As it turned out, points were no problem as the Pacers exploded for arguably their best first half of the season, piling up 77 points while finding a way to slow down the Timberwolves in the second quarter to take a 21-point lead to the break.
