Late 14-0 run caps Pacers’ comeback against Clippers

Pacers, Clippers

Pascal Siakam collected 33 points and 11 rebounds and Bennedict Mathurin added 25 points as the Indiana Pacers overcame a 22-point first-half deficit to earn a 119-112 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers on Thursday in Inglewood, Calif.

A 14-0 run in the last three-plus minutes completed the Pacers’ comeback.

Thomas Bryant amassed 12 points and 10 rebounds, Tyrese Haliburton had 14 points and eight assists and Ben Sheppard finished with 12 points as the Pacers won for the 12 time in their past 14 road games.

Indiana lost Myles Turner in the first quarter after he took a blow to the face from Mathurin and was evaluated for a concussion.

Norman Powell and James Harden each scored 22 points for the Clippers, who saw their losing streak extend to three games. Kawhi Leonard scored 19 points for Los Angeles in a season-best 33 minutes after he missed the opening 34 games of the season due to knee soreness.

The Clippers led 105-100 with 3:31 remaining before the Pacers took charge. Siakam and Haliburton hit back-to-back 3-pointers to put Indiana up 106-105 with 2:44 remaining, and Indiana pushed the advantage to 108-105 on a Haliburton layup with 2:17 left.

Two Mathurin free throws gave the Pacers a 110-105 lead with 1:41 remaining, and Haliburton made it 112-105 on a dunk 11 seconds later following a Harden turnover. Mathurin finished off the late surge with a pair of free throws for a nine-point edge with 52.6 seconds remaining.

In a wild first half, the Clippers led 44-22 early in the second quarter before the Pacers rallied to take a 61-58 lead on a 3-pointer by Siakam with 50.3 seconds left in the half. Indiana was up 64-61 at halftime behind 20 points from Siakam.

The Clippers were 10 of 15 (66.7 percent) from 3-point range in the first quarter but went just 7 of 25 (28 percent) the rest of the way.

Both teams made trades earlier Thursday, with the Clippers sending Terance Mann and Bones Hyland to the Atlanta Hawks while also shipping Kevin Porter Jr. to the Milwaukee Bucks.

The Pacers traded James Wiseman to the Toronto Raptors.
