Pacers Sneak Past Thunder in Nail-Biter Win — Could This Be the Turning Point in a Grueling Season?
However, the Pacers’ defense forced the Thunder to get the ball to Isaiah Joe for a 3-point attempt. He missed the shot and Indiana held on for arguably its biggest win of the season.
Nembhard scored 27 points (hitting 4-of-7 3-pointers) with 11 assists and 7 rebounds to lead Indiana to just its 11th win of the season, breaking a three-game losing streak. Walker followed with a career-best 26 points and Pascal Siakam added 21.
Facing their NBA Finals opponent from last season brings out the best in the Pacers, who lost their season opener to the Thunder but took the reigning NBA champions to double overtime before a 141-135 defeat. Gilgeous-Alexander scored a career-high 55 points in that matchup.
