INDIANAPOLIS – The Indiana Pacers helped clear up the Eastern Conference's muddled play-in picture Tuesday.
Philadelphia's second-half collapse only made it more murky at the top. Domantas Sabonis recorded his ninth triple-double of the season with 16 points, 15 assists and 13 rebounds and Caris LeVert added 24 points to help the Pacers rally for a 103-94 play-in round clinching victory. “We knew that if we won games, we could play our way into it," LeVert said. “But we're still trying to move up and see where we can go.
This is a good milestone for us, but we've still got three, four games here this week.” Indiana has won three of its last four after finding the energy and effort that seemed to be missing for weeks.
