Another day, another come from behind victory for the Indiana Pacers, extending their home winning streak to six with a late win over the Charlotte Hornets. It was a back-and-forth game throughout the evening, one that favored Charlotte for long stretches tonight, including through much of the fourth, until the Pacers locked in defensively in the final minute.
Indiana had grown accustomed to comebacks tonight, needing to respond to three separate Hornets pushes across the final three quarters after a terrible first quarter found them down by double figures. The Pacers led 15-14 midway through the first, but wouldn’t score another point the rest of the quarter, allowing 15 straight to fall behind 29-15 early in the second.
