Without having much of an answer on the defensive end, the Indiana Pacers saw their losing streak extend to six against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Pacers had some bright and encouraging performances, but a scorching shooting night from Minnesota and Anthony Edwards, it was a tough hill to climb without a complete team effort to carry them over the hump.
The Pacers found out early how easily they were able to score against the Timberwolves, but unfortunately for Indiana, the feeling the mutual. The Pacers were able to get off to another quick start, putting up 37 in the first quarter, but despite leading by as many as 10 in the quarter, the Wolves had cut the lead to just four at the end of the first.
