The Spurs lost by 40 points or more for the second time this season and are back below .500. San Antonio simply couldn’t find a way to stop an Indiana team that pounced early to create a lead and then expanded it by dropping three-pointer after three-pointer en route to a 152-111 win at home.
After a tough loss in the first game of a back-to-back to the Raptors, the Spurs’ struggles continued in their matchup with the Pacers. The two first offensive possessions resulted in turnovers and while both teams traded a couple of buckets in the initial minutes, Indiana slowly started taking control of the game behind a great performance by Tyrese Haliburton.
