The Indiana Pacers were forced to play resilient basketball in order to stage a victory over the Sacramento Kings. The Pacers trailed by seven after one and as many as 12 in the second quarter. They stayed calm + clear + connected in the run, spearheaded by Domantas Sabonis, scoring four as the Pacers began to chip away at the lead, eventually taking the lead with just under two minutes left in the half.
Things again went awry for Indiana in the third, with uncertainty in the passing game leading to six turnovers that Sacramento used to take a 68-62 lead.
