The Pacers, who didn’t come out of the hole, kept pace with the Eastern Conference leaders in the first half alone. In the second half, the 76ers took the lead completely and quickly walked away by a double-digit difference, and the intrigue of the guests could not recover.
“We are not a losing team. We’re not used to it, “said Malcolm Brogdon, one of the Pacers leaders, after the game, but he and the other players had to admit that some of the season’s favorites, the Indianapolis team, couldn’t face a player more serious challenge.
Joel Embiidas, who dominated under the baskets, scored 24 points for the 76ers team, bounced 13 balls and had 5 assists. The Cameroonian also played successfully on defense, stopping Myles Turner, and on several occasions left no chance to attack D. Sabonis.
