Before the trade deadline, the Pacers finally made a change, brewing one deal after another, sending away the team's little Sabonis, getting Hield and Halliburton, as well as Jaylen Smith and others. It seems that there is a big increase in the combat power value of the Walkers, but in fact it does not play a big role. So far, the Pacers have only been able to rank 13th in the East with a record of 21 wins and 42 losses, and have basically lost hope of making the playoffs.
In this game, they had a second game with the Magic back-to-back. So, will the Pacers, who have just suffered a crazy blow from their opponents in the first game, complete their revenge? Let's wait and see. At the beginning of the game, the Home Magic were able to stabilize the situation and take the lead in the lead. In the first quarter, Wendell Carter shot 3 of 4 in the quarter, delivering 8 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 steal, and starting center Bamba also had 11 points, 3 rebounds and 1 block, helping the team play 31-22 and take a nine-point lead.
Entering the second quarter of the showdown, the Pacers, whose score was in a backward state, could also play a state of full strength, and chased back the 5 points behind in the first quarter with a 36-31 score. After the first half of the game, the Magic still maintained a 4-point lead with a score of 62-58. The point difference between the two sides is not very large, and the Pacers have every chance to achieve a reversal of the score. But after YiBian fights again, the Magic team, which maintains the lead in the lead, can further widen the point difference between the two teams.
Wagner Jr. shot 4-of-5 in the quarter and delivered 12 points and 3 rebounds, and Wendell Carter also had 5 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists to contribute, and helped the team play a 29-18 score to take an 11-point lead. The difference between the two sides once again reached the crucial 15 points, and the Magic seemed to be bound to win the game. However, unfortunately, in the key final quarter of the competition, the Pacers did not compromise, but with Brogdon's single quarter 14 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal, Hield 8 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal to help, played a 34-19 score, forced the game into overtime.
In the short overtime, the Pacers were still able to continue the high state of the final quarter, playing a 12-4 score with a single blow, and completed the final reversal with a total score of 122-114! Looking back on that game, the Pacers were able to complete the final comeback, thanks to the players who started the game. Brogdon played 41 minutes in a single game, sending a quasi-triple-double stat of 31 points, 11 rebounds and 8 assists, which set the tone for winning the game. At the same time, new signing Hield also had 17 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists, and Halliburton also had 21 points, 3 rebounds and 6 assists.
The two players were still able to effectively alleviate the pressure on the scoring end, and the Pacers' trade was still relatively successful. And seeing Jaylen Smith on the bench, the game was also very amazing, handing over a luxurious double-double of 15 points and 15 rebounds. On the other hand, the Magic team that lost at home, they also had 6 players in the team who scored double digits, Wagner Jr. also had 28 points, and Wendell Carter also sent 13 points, 18 rebounds and 5 assists, but they handled the details of key moments, or lacked, and finally were reversed.
