Nate Bjorkgren’s pupils at home after a tenacious struggle 113: 114 (30:27, 18:30, 27:29, 38:28) landed for the New Orleans Pelicans (9-12).
Personally for Sabonis, it was one of the worst games of the season. Lithuania scored 8 points in 29 minutes (3/12 double, 0/1 trit., 2/4 penalty), bounced 6 balls, made 5 assists, blocked the shot and made 3 errors.
It was the first time this season that Sabonis had not scored double-digit points during the game. The Lithuanian did not get off the bench in the fourth quarter, even though there was persistent fighting between the teams.
The Pacers faced the fourth quarter with an 11-point deficit (75:86), but in the middle of the quarter, Aaron Holiday and Doug McDermott took a three-point lead and led the hosts to 102: 101.
Less than two minutes before the end of the duel, Lonzo Ball and McDermott exchanged long shots and the winner of the match was still unclear (110: 110).
Still, Steven Adams corrected the inaccurate pitch, Brandon Ingram scored a two-point lead and gave the Pelicans a four-point lead of 114: 110. The Pacers team was immediately returned to the game by Myles Turner, who made a long pitch 39.1 seconds earlier (113: 114).
After this episode, the Pelicans failed to maintain an accurate attack in 24 seconds and the ball went to the hosts.

After a minute of rest, the ball was entrusted to Turner, but his foray towards the basket ended in an inaccurate shot and the final siren declared the victory of the guests.
“This team could have easily given up, but we’re not like that,” said TJ McConnell, who had 15 assists after the failure.
Ingram, who scored 30 points (9/15 doubles, 3/6 trit., 3/3 penalties), 7 assists, 6 rebounds and 2 errors, was difficult to keep in the ranks of the winners.
At the time, Zion Williamson added 18 points to the victory, but created the most memorable moment of the match – he attempted to load and bend the arc, which had to be replaced.
Pacers: Justin Holiday 22 (7/13 trit.), Jeremy Lamb 17 (3/3 trit.), Doug McDermott 14 (4/7 trit.), Malcolm Brogdon 13 (6/14 trit.), Myles Turner 12 ( 3/4 dvit., 1/6 trit.), Goga Bitadze 10, TJ McConnellas 9 (15 res.), Domantas Sabonis (3/12 dvit.) And Aaronas Holiday after 8.
Pelicans: Brandon Ingram 30 (9/15 trit., 3/6 trit.), Lonzo Ballas 20 (5/9 trit.), Zion Williamson 18 (6/12 trit.), Steven Adams (12 rep.) And JJ Redick (3/3 trit.) After 12, Josh Hart 11.
