For a while, it looked like the Indiana Pacers were going to beat the Philadephia 76ers in Sunday’s matinee showdown. Then, one of the worst second halves of the season happens and the Pacers got clobbered.
The Pacers were winning 59-51 at halftime. They scored 34 points in the second quarter and the team was humming heading into halftime.
They, they only scored 30 in the entire second half, fewer than the total they had in the second quarter. It was ugly. Nothing was going in. Every shot was short. Every play was thwarted. Every pass felt slower.
