Indiana Pacers vs Minnesota Timberwolves Final Score & Over/Under Result — Oct 26, 2025

Pascal Siakam's 33 points, 10 rebounds, and 8 assists nearly carried Indiana past Minnesota, but a defensive third quarter proved too costly: the Pacers fell 114–110, with the combined total landing at 224, just 4 points below the market line. Siakam's aggressive two-way display led a comeback from a halftime deficit, yet the Pacers' collapse in Q3—when they managed only 17 combined points alongside Minnesota's 28—created a canyon that their fourth-quarter surge couldn't fully bridge. Julius Randle answered for the Timberwolves with 31 points and 6 assists, while Naz Reid added 16 points and 10 rebounds to stabilize the paint.

The first half unfurled as a high-scoring affair: 118 combined points through 24 minutes, with Q2 reaching 62 combined as the game's busiest quarter. The second half shifted dramatically. Q3's meager 45 combined points—a 17-point swing from the first half's per-quarter average—tilted the entire game. Minnesota's balanced attack, led by Donte DiVincenzo's 17 points off the bench, held just enough in crunch time. Aaron Nesmith (18 pts, 8 reb) and Tony Bradley (12 pts, 5 reb) provided secondary scoring for Indiana, but couldn't overcome the third-quarter bottleneck. The Pacers' struggles defending the perimeter, combined with their own offensive inefficiency midway through, crystallized the four-point defeat in a game that stayed well below its pre-game total throughout the second half.
