Los Angeles Lakers 85, Indiana Pacers 94 (Q4 7:18)

What’s the buzz on Twitter?

Scott Agness @ScottAgness
8-0 Pacers run pushes their lead to 15 with 4:34 left. Lakers burn a second timeout over the last three minutes.
A much different game than at the start of the week. Neither team shooting well from outside, everything inside the arc. – 9:08 PM
Jovan Buha @jovanbuha
A couple of quick baskets from the Pacers and the lead is back up to 15, 100-85, with 4:34 left. Timeout LA. – 9:08 PM
Tony East @TonyREast
Pacers stuck with it as the Lakers made a push earlier in this quarter, and it’s paying off now. Starters are back in and playing great, and the Pacers lead by 15. Helps that LA is 4/27 from deep, but the Pacers defense deserves some credit. 4:34 to go. – 9:08 PM
Mike Trudell @LakersReporter
LAL are No. 1 in the NBA in scoring since Jan. 1 (121.4 per game), and No. 2 in 3-pt % (39.9%), but haven’t been able to hit shots tonight on this 3rd road game in 4 nights.
They’re now 4 for 27 from 3 (14.8%) and at 41.3% overall.
Russell + Reaves + Dinwiddie are 2 for 17. – 9:07 PM
Tony East @TonyREast
Jalen Smith’s foul is upgraded to a flagrant, penalty 1. Two shots for Anthony Davis + Lakers ball. – 8:57 PM
Mike Trudell @LakersReporter
No play on the ball from Jalen Smith as he fouled Anthony Davis – refs will review it here.
If it’s ruled a flagrant, LAL will get 2 FT’s plus the ball, with 8:44 to play and the Lakers down 9. – 8:56 PM
Jovan Buha @jovanbuha
That foul on Jalen Smith is being reviewed for a flagrant. – 8:55 PM
Fred Katz @FredKatz
Clyde Frazier with unbelievable praise of Victor Wembanyama. Says he has the offensive skills of Wilt, the defensive intensity of Russell and the “sagacity” of LeBron. – 8:54 PM
Mike Trudell @LakersReporter
Some life from the Lakers through the fatigue to start the 4th Q here, as a Reaves 3 and a Davis and-1 trimmed the 14-point deficit to 8. – 8:50 PM
Jovan Buha @jovanbuha
A 3 from Austin Reaves and an and-1 from Anthony Davis and the Lakers are back within eight with 11:14 left in the game. – 8:50 PM
Jovan Buha @jovanbuha
Third quarter: Pacers 86, Lakers 72
AD has 19 points and 15 rebounds. AR has 11 points, 11 rebounds and 5 assists. LeBron has 14 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists. LA is just 3-of-22 on 3s (13.6%) — an uncharacteristic off night. Their bench has been outscored 28-11. – 8:48 PM
Scott Agness @ScottAgness
A fun, competitive 3Q owned by the Pacers to grow their lead to 14, 86-72.
Zero turnovers and the Lakers were 1/9 from 3 in the 3rd.
They’ve kept the Lakers to quarters of 24 points, 25 and 23 — five days after giving up ~37.5pts per quarter. – 8:48 PM
Tony East @TonyREast
Jalen Smith was a great block to cap off a strong effort quarter for the Pacers. They lead the Lakers by 14 heading into the final period. Siakam leading the way with 16 points. – 8:47 PM
Tony East @TonyREast
Jalen Smith with a hell of a play to stick with the ball there. Lost it out of bounds but found it for a pass just in time, then recovered for a tip in to put the Pacers up 16. – 8:43 PM
Jovan Buha @jovanbuha
The Pacers’ challenge is successful. Foul on Spencer Dinwiddie. – 8:41 PM
Tony East @TonyREast
Haliburton and Dinwiddie collide and it’s ruled an offensive foul on Haliburton. Pacers are challenging. Somewhat low EV challenge, but it’s late enough in the game to be fine if they get it flipped and earn another challenge. – 8:40 PM
Scott Agness @ScottAgness
Lakers have attempted free throws on their last three offensive possessions. A development to watch. – 8:34 PM
Jovan Buha @jovanbuha
Austin Reaves has a double-double tonight: 11 points and 11 rebounds. Also on triple-double watch with 5 assists. – 8:33 PM
Scott Agness @ScottAgness
Myles Turner exits with 5:43 left in the 3Q after picking up his 4th foul. Jalen Smith replaces him.
Pacers have added to their lead to start the half. And Siakam is beginning to get more involved offensively (12pts). – 8:31 PM
Mike Trudell @LakersReporter
Legs looking a little heavy on this 3rd game in 4 nights in 3 different cities for LAL, as Indy takes its biggest lead at 68-59, with 2 Siakim FT’s to follow after Nesmith outhustled a group of Lakers for a loose ball.
Lakers have been short on several 3’s. They’re 2 for 16. – 8:25 PM
Tony East @TonyREast
What a fight from Nesmith to pull the ball out in a fight with 2 Lakers defenders. He got it to Siakam, who drew a foul on the layup attempt. – 8:24 PM
Indiana Pacers @Pacers
team ball leads to an Andrew Nembhard three. pic.twitter.com/KRBOXJDsNp8:23 PM

Mike Trudell @LakersReporter
Austin Reaves, impressively, already has 10 rebounds with 9 minutes still to play in the 3rd Q, to go with 8 points and 5 assists. – 8:20 PM
Tony East @TonyREast
Two straight buckets from Andrew Nembhard to start the second half for the Pacers, who now lead by eight. – 8:19 PM

Jovan Buha @jovanbuha
Halftime: Pacers 54, Lakers 49
AD has 12 points and 7 rebounds. Rui Hachimura has 9 points and several impressive dunks. LeBron has 8/6/5. LA is shooting 45.7% and just 15.4% on 3s (2-13). They’ve edged Indiana 14-10 in transition, 34-28 in the paint and 27-18 on the glass. – 8:05 PM

Mike Trudell @LakersReporter
Indy was very focused defensively in this first half after giving up 150 points to the Lakers last week, and holds LAL to 49 points to lead by 5 at the break.
Lakers hit only 2 of 13 3’s, and shot 45.7% overall with 10 turnovers to 7 for the Pacers. – 8:03 PM
Tony East @TonyREast
Pacers lead 54-49 at halftime. Good 7-2 close to the half from the Pacers after the Lakers tied the game. Both teams have off nights shooting, and Rick Carlisle probably not happy with 7 turnovers.
McConnell leads the way with 11 points. He was fantastic. – 8:03 PM
Scott Agness @ScottAgness
Pacers up 54-49 on the Lakers at the half. Shooting 49%, but 7tos and -9 on the glass.
AD leads all with 17/7, LeBron with 8-6-5. TJM had 11pts.
Much different feel to the last game, where the Lakers piled up points and FTAs. – 8:03 PM
Los Angeles Lakers @Lakers
Behind the back dime for the dunk yessir!! pic.twitter.com/vLOZvw4mGA8:00 PM

Mike Trudell @LakersReporter
Davis drew the 3rd PF on Myles Turner with 1:43 left in the 2nd Q, bringing Jalen Smith back in.
Davis promptly scored right over the top of Smith to tie the game at 47, capping a 6-0 run. – 7:59 PM
Scott Agness @ScottAgness
Pacers playing chaotic right now, piling up turnovers. They need to settle down and lock in on the game plan.
McConnell was fantastic in his first stint — with 11/3a in 10mins. Siakam has been quiet offensively.
Positive for Pacers that the Lakers only have 6FTAs. – 7:56 PM
Tony East @TonyREast
47-45 Pacers ahead after a timeout with about 2 minutes left in the half. 4 quick points from the Lakers just now. Both teams have been pretty cold from the field this quarter. – 7:55 PM
Mike Trudell @LakersReporter
LAL have been red hot from the perimeter during this winning streak (and for a few months, actually), but are just 2 for 13 from 3 tonight.
Indy leads 47-41 with 3:21 to play in the 2nd Q. – 7:54 PM
Tony East @TonyREast
Nasty dunk from Rui Hachimura. – 7:51 PM
Bobby Marks @BobbyMarks42
LeBron James has reached the 65-game criteria.
He is now eligible for postseason honors.
James has been named All-NBA 19 seasons in a row.
This is the first time James and Anthony Davis have played 65+ games together in one season. – 7:50 PM
Mike Trudell @LakersReporter
TJ McConnell hurting LAL for a 2nd straight game, already with 11 points and 3 assists in his 10 minutes.
He’s +7 and has Indy up 43-37. – 7:49 PM
Tony East @TonyREast
Timeout Pacers, who lead 40-34.
And… they are bringing out the cases. It’s time… for DEAL OR NO DEAL!!! – 7:44 PM
Tony East @TonyREast
McConnell cuts right into the Lakers funky zone and scores his eighth point. He’s playing well early. – 7:40 PM
Jovan Buha @jovanbuha
First quarter: Pacers 27, Lakers 24
LA has nearly as many turnovers (6) as assists (7). Austin Reaves has 6 points. AD, LeBron and DLo each have 4 points. LeBron also has 5 rebounds and 3 assists. LA is shooting 47.8% overall but is just 1 of 9 on 3s (11.1%). – 7:36 PM
Tony East @TonyREast
Pacers lead the Lakers 27-24 after one quarter. Pretty back-and-forth quarter, but the Pacers were able to hold their lead late with the second unit in.
7 points for Nesmith, 5 for Haliburton. – 7:35 PM
Mike Trudell @LakersReporter
Indiana outscored LAL by 4 with both LeBron and AD sitting, and take a 27-24 lead out of the 1st Q as a result. Indy’s bench outscored LAL’s 9-3, with Dinwiddie going 0 for 3 and Prince 1 for 2. – 7:35 PM
Tony East @TonyREast
Doug McDermott in for the Pacers late in the first quater here. Slight tweak from the last game. – 7:32 PM
Ira Winderman @IraHeatBeat
If Pacers lose tonight to visiting Lakers and Heat defeat visiting Blazers, Heat would move into No. 6 in East by one one-thousandth of a percentage point (.548 to .547). – 7:32 PM
Mike Trudell @LakersReporter
LAL’s starters outscored Indiana’s 19-18 in the first stretch tonight, before Reddish, Dinwiddie, Hayes and Prince all joined together around the 3-minute mark, with Reaves the lone starter staying in.
Davis usually plays the full 1st Q, but is coming off the missed game (knee). – 7:27 PM
Tony East @TonyREast
Pacers were down 5-0 quickly, but they now lead 11-9. Good fight early. They are playing fast and getting into their offense early. – 7:19 PM
