What started as a slugfest turned into one of the more thrilling finishes of the season for the Indiana Pacers but they struggled to rebound and finish in overtime, ultimately dropping the game 120-112.
Chicago hit multiple big shots in the extra period, and former Pacer Thaddeus Young hurt the blue-and-gold throughout overtime on the glass. Zach LaVine had 30 points and hit a massive three in regulation to give Chicago a 104-103 lead, but missed a free throw late, giving Malcolm Brogdon a chance to send the game to OT.
