The Indiana Pacers closed with a purpose tonight, topping the San Antonio Spurs in overtime to get back in the win column. The Pacers struggled at times, but never faltered the way they have in recent losses, staging a big comeback in the third and surviving a late Spurs push that forced overtime.
In the extra period, T.J. McConnell scored six, putting Indiana on his back to ensure it would be a win, hitting an automatic jumper with 18 seconds left to put them ahead by four.
