The Golden State Warriors hosted a rather thin linup of the Indiana Pacers. The Pacers are playing the second day of a back-to-back set with 10 players on the injury list. The Dubs are also missing Stephen Curry who is missing his third straight game due to an unspecified illness. The Pacers put up a fight and despite the troubles, made a close game in the second and third quarters. Yet they couldn’t make up the deficit and suffered a blowout 114-83. Their losing streak continues as they fall 1-9. That one win was when they beat the Warriors in their first matchup of their season but that team now stands at 6-5.

Warriors vs Pacers: Game summary and key moments
What started as a very uneven matchup – Warriors’ robust veteran starters of Jimmy Butler and Draymond Green against very understaffed Pacers, turned into a plot twist. Golden State took a double digit lead very early into the first quarter and everyone was sure the outcome was going one way. By halftime, the Pacers – who are without Pascal Siakam, Bennedict Mathurin, Obi Toppin, TJ McConnell – had tied the game.
