Through 2 Quarters
Both the Indiana Pacers and the San Antonio Spurs have kept the scorekeepers busy with 161 between them two quarters in. Indiana is way out in front with a 90-71 lead over San Antonio.
Power forward Domantas Sabonis (16 points) and center Myles Turner (16 points) have been the top scorers for the Pacers. One thing to keep an eye out for is T.J. McConnell’s foul situation as he currently sits at three.
San Antonio has been relying on point guard Dejounte Murray, who has 16 points and three assists, and point guard Derrick White, who has 13 points and seven assists along with two rebounds.
If the game were over at this point, it would be San Antonio’s worst margin of defeat yet this season.
