Pacers Win in the Usual Way

The box score makes no sense. Surely there must be a typo somewhere.

The Pacers were outscored by 27 points behind the 3-point line by a Minnesota team that shot uncharacteristically well, although not uncharacteristically often. They gave up another 27 points to Karl-Anthony Towns, who played for the first time since Dec. 13 and only got eight points from each of their foul-burdened big men, Domantas Sabonis and Myles Turner. They were outscored by a point at the foul line, too, so forget the home cooking angle.

So how did they escape Bankers Life Fieldhouse on Friday with a 116-114 victory over the Timberwolves?
