The New Orleans Pelicans suffered too many self-inflicted wounds late, as they fell to the Indiana Pacers 118-116 in overtime on Monday night at the Smoothie King Center.
It was a sloppy and uneven performance at times, particularly at the end of regulation as the Pels gave away a 10 point lead with 2:22 remaining in the fourth quarter.
After a pair of made free throws by Brandon Ingram, who scored a game-high 31 points to go along with eight assists, put New Orleans up 106-96, the Pacers were able to draw within six on a Malcom Brogdon layup with just over 90 seconds to go.
