With an 8-8 away record, the Indiana Pacers aren’t exactly the leagues’ most intimidating team. However, in an instance where the Sixers are looking to gear-down as the All-Star run-in begins, this game was always going to be the perfect opportunity to try and get the bench going. That’s exactly what happened in the 130-114 win.
Doc Rivers opted to try and keep his starters well-rested, with none of the typical starting five playing over 30 minutes. That didn’t stop Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons from having some serious fun on the court.
