The Indiana Pacers put forth another lackluster showing without Victor Oladipo, while also missing Myles Turner for tonight’s game. They never led against the San Antonio Spurs, as the offensive sputtered far too often while the defense collapsed at the wrong times. The Spurs weren’t quite what Charlotte was on Wednesday, but they didn’t have to be against this Pacers team.
Through the first half, the Pacers routinely found themselves down by double figures, but were also routinely able to fight to pull themselves back to within 3-5 points. Unfortunately, the pushes stopped cold there with San Antonio pushing it back up to double figures.
