Mills sinks Pacers in tough win, 116-112.
Patty Mills celebrates his long range connection. Victor Oladipo (24 points, 7 assists, 10/21) fiercely powered the Pacers to a 57-54 halftime advantage, but the Spurs were held in the running by Dejounte Murray (24 points, 9/16) whose twelve first-half points kept them close. The Spurs narrowly won the third quarter scoring, with Kentavius Caldwell-Pope earning more burn after first half struggles by Avery Bradley. The spurs nearly came off the boots of San Antone, unable to stop the Pacers from going up 77-65. They were able to respond, however, and ultimately win this exciting cross-conference match-up. The response first came from Brandon Ingram's difficult three-pointer, epitomizing his bad shooting night despite making similarly tough shots in the first half, finishing 6/16 with 14 points. Avery Bradley came alive, easily the best player in the second half for the Spurs, swiping the ball from Oladipo and dishing the ball to Mills for his heartstroke from long range on
