The Indiana Pacers will welcome the Indiana Pacers vs Toronto Raptors to Gainbridge Fieldhouse for an NBA game on Monday. The Pacers won 131-130 in their last game over the Bulls. Myles Turner scored 34 points, Tyrese Haliburton had 24 points and 10 assists, including 14 points in the final four minutes, and the Indiana Pacers held on for a 131-130 win over Paul George and the Los Angeles Clippers on Saturday.
George scored 45 points, the most by a Clippers player this season, in his return to Indianapolis and Kawhi Leonard had 24 points, seven assists and five rebounds. Leonard missed a 3-pointer from the right wing that would have tied the game at 130. Haliburton then made a free throw with 5.3 seconds left to push Indiana’s lead to 131-127 before George hit a 3 as time expired.
“We had to put together a monster game to beat them, and we did,” Indiana coach Rick Carlisle said. “Myles Turner was spectacular. Tyrese’s fourth quarter was monster. Made just about every play you could imagine. Really just breathtaking stuff to watch.”
The Raptors on the other hand won 113-104 against the Suns in their last game. Gary Trent Jr. matched his season high with 35 points, Pascal Siakam had 26 and the Toronto Raptors snapped a five-game home losing streak with a 113-104 victory over the short-handed and sloppy Phoenix Suns on Friday night.
Scottie Barnes hit a tiebreaking 3-pointer with 3:16 left in the fourth quarter and rookie center Christian Kololo followed with his first career 3 help the Raptors win for the third time in 11 games. O.G. Anunoby scored 16 points and Barnes finished with 11. Siakam has scored at least 25 points in seven consecutive games. Vince Carter did it in a franchise-record eight straight in February and March of 2001. Trent shot 11 for 22, making 4 of 11 from 3-point range. “Gary just had it going,” Raptors coach Nick Nurse said.
