Aaron Nesmith scored 24 points, with 17 coming in the second half, while Obi Toppin added 19 points for the Pacers. Tyrese Haliburton had a standout performance with 18 points and 11 assists against his former team, while DeMar DeRozan led the Kings with 31 points and former Pacers center Domantas Sabonis had 25 points and 16 rebounds.
Despite the loss, the Kings remain in 10th place in the Western Conference, the final spot in the play-in tournament. The Pacers, on the other hand, have won seven of their last nine games and now have upcoming matches against Charlotte and Utah.
Key moments in the game included Haliburton’s go-ahead 3-pointer and Pascal Siakam’s shot that extended the Pacers’ lead. Haliburton’s performance in the final period, where he scored 11 points on 4 of 5 shooting, was crucial for Indiana’s comeback.
Up next, the Pacers will face Charlotte at home while the Kings will take on Washington.
