The Pacers are back in Crypto.com Arena for the second time in three days. Only this time, they are squaring off against LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers in a late-night bout. Indiana is looking to snap a five-game road losing streak to the Lakers dating back to 2015.
At halftime, Indiana finds itself trailing, 56-50. The squad spent much of the second quarter chewing into a double-digit Laker lead. A late 14-5 run helped their effort.
In his first game back from a sore right Achilles, Malcolm Brogdon leads all Pacers with 10 points. Domantas Sabonis has eight points, while Chris Duarte added six off the bench.
