Talking about the Warriors, Eric Pascalll had 13 points. Andrew Wiggins scored 15 points and has scored in double figures every game this season. Kelly Oubre Jr. finished with 17 points, the first time in five games he failed to reach 19. Rookie James Wiseman had 11 points before fouling out early in the fourth. The Warriors were 5 of 26 on 3-pointers, shooting a season-low 19.2%. Golden State won in Indy for the first time since March 2019. The Warriors became the fifth team in NBA history with 1,000th road wins, joining the Celtics, Lakers, 76ers and Knicks.
But after using a 7-0 run to take an 81-75 lead late in the third, the Pacers fought back to tie it at 86 early in the fourth. The Warriors again appeared to be poised to take control when Brad Wanamaker made a tie-breaking 14-footer, followed that with a free throw and then watched Eric Paschall make two more free throws to make it 95-91 with 6:34 to go but the Pacers cut the deficit to 99-98 with 4:36 left. That’s when the Warriors finally put it away by scoring six straight.
