Ahead 13 entering fourth quarter, Pacers score just nine in epic collapse.
This is why most Indiana Pacers fans never sound overly confident, especially after seeing so many fourth-quarter collapses this season.
Still, this being the NBA playoffs, who could have anticipated a Pacers team playing so well, then inexplicably flipping the switch and scoring just nine points in a Tuesday collapse that won’t be forgotten long after this season ends, which could be Friday.
The Pacers blew a 13-point lead entering the fourth quarter in setting a dubious franchise record for points scored in a quarter as the Toronto Raptors rallied to a 102-99 Game 5 victory at Air Canada Centre.
