However, as the game progressed, they struggled to maintain their offensive momentum. Despite outscoring their opponents in bench points with a significant contribution of 50 and capitalizing on turnovers by scoring 26 points off them, it wasn't enough to secure a lead at any point during the match.

On defense, Indiana managed to block six shots and steal the ball eleven times from Golden State's grasp. Their efforts translated into fast break opportunities where they scored fifteen points from eight attempts. The team also showed efficiency from second-chance plays by scoring fourteen points on four attempts.

However, Golden State's offense proved too potent for Indiana's defense. The visitors shot an impressive fifty-six percent from field goal range and fifty-three percent beyond the arc while making seventeen three-pointers throughout the night. They dominated inside as well with sixty-four points in paint compared to forty-four by Indiana.

The home team did see some individual brilliance; their players dished out thirty-one assists and had an assists turnover ratio of 2.21 which reflected well-coordinated playmaking despite falling short overall.
