Key Performances on the Court

The Pacers showcased a balanced team effort with significant contributions from several players. Aaron Nesmith led the scoring for Indiana with an impressive 24 points, bolstered by his two blocks and six rebounds. His shooting accuracy from both inside and beyond the arc played a crucial role in securing this victory for his team.

Obi Toppin also made headlines with his performance by scoring 19 points and grabbing seven rebounds. His efficiency on the court was evident as he shot 64 percent from the field, including an impressive three-point shooting percentage of 62 percent.

Opposition Effort

Their fast break attempts were notable but only converted into eight points, showcasing aggressive but ultimately insufficient efforts to dominate transition play.
