INDIANAPOLIS — The Indiana Pacers snapped the eight game winning streak of the Philadelphia 76ers on Tuesday night with a 103-94 win. With that win, they’ve at least clinched a spot in the play-in round of the playoffs.
Domantas Sabonis dropped a triple double on a boy finishing with 16 points, 15 assists and 13 rebounds while Caris Lavert came through with 24 points. Doug McDermott dropped off 20 points and Justin Holiday had 16 in the win.
“We knew that if we won games, we could play our way into it,” LeVert said. “But we’re still trying to move up and see where we can go. This is a good milestone for us, but we’ve still got three, four games here this week.”
Philly completely imploded in the second half scoring a mere 32 points total. They had 13 points in the third quarter and only 19 in the fourth.
The 76ers are still sitting on top of the East ahead of Brooklyn and Milwaukee. The Pacers are now sitting in the 8th spot.
Up next they’ve got to wrestle with the Bucks on Thursday.
