The Pacers fell victim to another poor second half stretch, eventually losing to the New Orelans Pelican, 117-112.
The Pacers were forced to play the front-court heavy Pelicans without Domas Sabonis (calf), but nobody said basketball is fair. Here’s how things played out from start to finish at the Fieldhouse.
After trading blows early in the first quarter, the Pacers caught a break when DeMarcus Cousins was called for a reaching foul 90 feet away from the Pacers bucket and had to go to the bench with two fouls midway through the opening quarter.
