Despite a solid effort, the Indiana Pacers let a win against the San Antonio Spurs slip through their fingers late, losing their fourth straight game. The Pacers jumped up by as many as nine in the second quarter, though they were forced to contend with a Spurs comeback as San Antonio went up nine themselves in the third.
The Pacers responded well, closing the gap and taking the lead in the fourth by as many as four. Unfortunately for the Pacers, their free throw shooting down the stretch was atrocious, opening the door for the Spurs to capitalize and scrap towards the win.
