The Indiana Pacers needed help from the New Orleans Pelicans to close out the New Orleans Pelicans at home, eking out a 98-95 victory despite scoring just two points in the final three minutes on 2-6 from the free throw line. Paul George pushed Indiana up 96-93 with 3:21 in the fourth, a score that would hold until Solomon Hill broke the stalemate with a dunk for New Orleans.
It was the only field goal in the final three minutes of action for either team with Indiana going 0-2 from the field and the Pelicans stumbling to just 1-10 shooting, a number of which weren’t even close.
