Game Recap
Philadelphia's second quarter burst—a combined 72 points—proved to be the decisive stretch in a 135–114 road victory over Indiana. The 76ers outscored the Pacers 45–27 in that frame, building a cushion they would never relinquish in a game that landed well above expectations. The final combined total of 249 exceeded the market of 234.5, handing DAGGER an UNDER miss.
The first half saw 140 combined points, setting a brisk pace as both teams traded baskets through the opening quarter's 68 combined points. But Philadelphia's offensive surge in Q2 shifted momentum decisively. Tyrese Maxey led the charge with 32 points, 9 rebounds, and 8 assists, while Joel Embiid added 27 points alongside 6 rebounds and 5 assists. Indiana managed only 20 combined points in the third quarter as the game's intensity waned; the fourth brought a modest uptick to 58 combined but couldn't close the gap. VJ Edgecombe (23 pts, 7 reb, 4 ast) and Andrew Nembhard (23 pts, 1 reb, 3 ast) provided scoring support for their respective squads, while Micah Potter chipped in 23 points for Indiana.
The Pacers' recent form—averaging 116.8 points scored and 120.0 allowed over their last ten games—proved insufficient against a visiting Philadelphia side that has now won consecutive matchups this season, both featuring relatively modest game totals (217 and 220). This affair followed suit as a low-possession, high-efficiency affair, despite finishing 14.5 points above the closing number.
