Indiana's 101-83 home rout of Toronto forces Sunday's series finale.
These unpredictable, inconsistent Indiana Pacers regrouped Friday night from the most demoralizing of defeats to push their Eastern Conference series with the Toronto Raptors to a deciding seventh game.
Three days after blowing a 13-point lead entering the fourth quarter in a three-point road loss, the Pacers rebounded with stifling second-half defense and a pivotal 18-0 run for a 101-83 home rout of the Raptors at Bankers Life Fieldhouse.
It was ugly for a half, but his time when the Pacers pulled ahead, they continued to build upon their lead in the final quarter.
