The Pacers looked poised for a fourth quarter fade against the Spurs as the visitor’s defense, especially shutting down transition opportunities, appeared to frustrate the good guys on their home floor.
But as we are quickly learning, fading away is not how this version of the Indiana Pacers rolls. Instead, new faces helping to provide a new identity to this team turned things around.
Victor Oladipo and Domas Sabonis scored 22 of their combined 45 points in the final 9:51 of the game after they entered the fourth quarter facing a five-point deficit.
