Pascal Siakam finished with 22 points and 11 rebounds, Tyrese Haliburton added 21 points, eight assists and eight rebounds and the Indiana Pacers beat the Los Angeles Lakers 109-90 on Friday night in a pivotal game for both teams' playoff aspirations.
If Friday night is any indication, that could be a promising sign for a team that has lost nine straight postseason games and hasn't won a playoff series in a decade.“These are all playoff games you know,” Carlisle said after tying the late Red Auerbach for 12th on the NBA's career victory list with No. 938. “I mean, they're fighting for their position in the standings. We are, too.”
But three games in four nights also took a toll on the Lakers, who were 5 of 29 on 3-pointers and committed 16 turnovers, five by James. The high stakes — and the early up-tempo pace — created an entertaining and sometimes sloppy contest. The Pacers never trailed after the first nine minutes, building a 40-33 lead midway through the second quarter and extending the margin from 54-49 at halftime to 86-70 late in the third.
