As a team, the Pacers shot 45 percent from the field and 13 of 43 from the 3-point line as they kept pace with the Spurs in a tightly contested first half, only to get blown away with 45-23 in the third quarter to suffer one of their worst defeats of the season. TJ McConnell had a rough game as he shot just two of nine to finish with just four points off the bench. The Pacers will meet the Pistons after this game.

Meanwhile, the San Antonio Spurs have been in a rut as they've lost six of their last eight games overall, but they will be feeling much better after snapping a three-game skid with a big win over the Pacers on Thursday.
