But when the match was nearly out of their hands, the Pacers went on a 17-6 run starting in the last part of the 3rd quarter and continuing till the flagrant foul by Deandre Jordan. And after the foul, the game was stolen away by the trio of Joel Embiid, James Harden, and Tyrese Maxey.

With this win, the 76ers have come within 2.5 games behind the Eastern Conference table-toppers Miami Heat and they are also on par with Boston Celtics and Milwaukee Bucks.
