The three-game losing streak is over for the Indiana Pacers, escaping the Oklahoma City Thunder on the road in an overtime thriller that absolutely lived up to the billing of being between two of the NBA’s worst teams. It was an impressive showcase of futility on both ends, but Domantas Sabonis and Justin Holiday had just enough to put the Pacers over the hump.
Indiana got off to a relatively quick start, using the Sabonis/Holiday combination to take a 15-10 lead. Sabonis found Holiday twice on a pair of beautiful passes, but both would head to the bench, immediately allowing the Thunder to take the lead on an 8-0 run, fueled by numerous Indiana turnovers into fast break opportunities.
