In a tale of two halves, the Indiana Pacers came through in the one that counted, overcoming a frustrating first half on both ends of the court to help push them past the Philadelphia 76ers for their sixth straight win. Out of the gate, the Pacers found themselves on the wrong side of a 10-0 start and would be forced to chase those points throughout the first half.
Every time the Pacers managed to cut the lead to a manageable difference, the Sixers would be right there to respond, pushing the lead back to the 10 points the Pacers were originally trying to overcome.
