In an impressive showing, Tyrese Haliburton and Pascal Siakam each scored 25 points, propelling the Indiana Pacers to a 108-96 victory over the Golden State Warriors. Haliburton also registered 10 assists, while Siakam contributed with 10 rebounds, marking Indiana's fifth consecutive win, tying their longest streak this season.
Golden State, on the other hand, was hindered by the absence of several key players, including All-Stars Stephen Curry and Draymond Green, both resting due to injuries. Buddy Hield led the Warriors with 17 points, supported by Pat Spencer, who also scored 17 points. Indiana established dominance in the second quarter, outscoring Golden State 17-2, which shifted the momentum significantly in their favor.
