The Indiana Pacers jumped up 9-0 on the Sacramento Kings and never looked back, cruising in a wire-to-wire victory and securing their first back-to-back win of the season. Indiana stormed out of the gates behind a dominating first quarter from Domantas Sabonis to set the tone for the night. Sabonis had Indiana’s first seven rebounds en route to a 12 point, 16 rebound double double, dishing five assists, though he was only 5-6 from the floor.
Everything went the Pacers way tonight, even when it didn’t. Indiana shot 52% in the first half to lead by 25, but that shooting fell off the earth in the third quarter with the Pacers shooting just 3-18 and scoring 14 points.
