Despite missing four key regular starters, the Indiana Pacers managed to break the Minnesota Timberwolves' eight-game winning streak, thanks largely to the standout performance of Obi Toppin. Toppin stepped up in a big way, scoring 34 points, including two crucial three-pointers in overtime, to secure a thrilling 121-118 victory. His ability to perform under pressure was highlighted by a game-winning triple from the corner with only 3.5 seconds remaining.

With the absence of Pascal Siakam, Tyrese Haliburton, Myles Turner, and Aaron Nesmith, Toppin's scoring was vital. Additionally, Bennedict Mathurin contributed 22 points before fouling out. The balanced attack from the Pacers saw eight players scoring in double digits, showcasing their depth. On the Timberwolves' side, Anthony Edwards led with 38 points, but struggled from beyond the arc, shooting just 1-of-11 from three-point range.
