A massive block from Poeltl, then game-winning jumper by Ingram — who finished with a game-high 26pts. Raptors escape with a 97-95 win. The Pacers are the only team without a road win (0-10). Pacers did a much better job in the paint and on the glass. But it's a loss.

Mathurin buries his fourth 3-pointer — the Raptors have five as a team — for the Pacers to take back the lead, 83-81. A 13-5 burst to start the 4th.

This one got out of hand in a hurry. The Pacers haven't scored in nearly eight minutes of game time — and the Raptors are working on a 22-zip run.

Pacers went ahead by 11, but the Raptors have the lead at the half — 50-49 — after a 12-0 run over the final 3 minutes. Scottie Barnes has 16pts, Walker has 11. Pacers turned it over 12x and struggled to initiate offense late.

Building off his 21-point game v Pistons, Jarace Walker has a game-high 11pts (3/4 from 3) in the 1Q — and after moving back into the starting lineup. Pacers have the lead by four, impressively holding the Raptors to 21pts on 31.8% shooting; just 1/9 from 3 and just 2 fastbreak points

Fever head coach Stephanie White can be seen on ESPN at 5 ET as she’s the game analyst for Pistons-Celtics on ESPN, joined by Mark Jones and Alyssa Lang.

A second national TV game of the Pacers has been dropped. Peacock will no longer air Kings at Pacers on Dec. 8, instead opting for Suns at Timberwolves. Instead, it will air locally on FanDuel Sports Network Indiana.

Pacers fight back, but the Pistons hold them off 122-117 for their 13th straight win. Pistons held to 21 4Q points after 30+ in each of the first three quarters. Good night for the Pacers' bench, producing 58pts and four reserves in double figures. Next: Wed. at TOR

Spread 4 SLOB play drawn up by Carlisle leads to Mathurin getting a look from the same spot Haliburton hit over Giannis — in front of visitors bench —to beat the Bucks last season. But he missed. Mathurin got a good, open look moving right to left.

t's been a chaotic last few minutes with some bad shots + turnovers for both teams. Siakam sinks a FT — now 11 for the game — to bring the Pacers to within four with 48.9s left.

Flurry of points from the Pistons has grown their lead to 15. They've scored 28pts in the first 7mins of the 2Q. They're shooting 68%. Most impressive: six guys have 7+ points and no one more than 8.

It's nine reserves on the court + Siakam. Pacers slide back into a zone with Huff in the middle. After falling behind by 10, via 12-0 Pistons run, Pacers are back to within two. Led by Siakam's 7pts.

A 2–14 start. Injuries everywhere. A key homestand ahead. The next 10 games will say a lot about where this Pacers season is headed. Plus, a Haliburton checkpoint, Stranger Things Night, local TV updates, and Boom get first win. www.fieldhousefiles.com/p/pacers-not...

Pacers schedule update: their home game against the Celtics on Dec. 26 will no longer air on Prime Video — replaced by 76ers at Bulls. It will tip off at 7pm and air on FanDuel Sports Network Indiana.

WTHR-13 in Indianapolis will simulcast seven Pacers games, beginning Jan. 16 v Pelicans. The network is available free, over-the-air. It’s the second straight year for this partnership.

USA Basketball Women's National Team will hold a training camp Dec. 12-14 at Duke, coached by Kara Lawson. It includes Caitlin Clark and Aliyah Boston of the Fever.

Pacers lose in Cleveland 120-109 Had some positives in the 4Q — 14-0 run, keeping Cavs to 20pts — but a 22-point hole was too much to overcome. CH 32pts from Nembhard, 26 from Siakam, 21 from Mathurin. But just 23 bench points. Next: Mon. v DET

New career-high 32pts from Andrew Nembhard, topping his electric performance at Golden State on Dec. 5, 2022 -- when he scored 31.

Carlisle just called a timeout -- then they gave up a wide-open dunk in transition. Unacceptable. The third quarter was a struggle for the Pacers, now trailing 100-81 after 3. Another game allowing 100+ through three quarters.

Andrew Nembhard has scored 20+ points for the fifth time in nine games. The Pacers badly missed him after opening night. They need to get more from the bench — and fouling issues persist.

Pacers trailing the Cavs 62-55 at the half — getting 44 of their 55 points from Siakam (16), Mathurin (14), and Nembhard (14). They're 10/10 at the foul line, but Cavs already have 21 attempts. It's an NBA Cup game that's already featured 9 ties, 10 lead changes.

Jeremiah Robinson-Earl’s second 10-day contract expired so the Pacers plan to sign him to a standard contract. Subsequently, they’ve been granted another hardship contract (after Nesmith missed his third straight game) so they’ve signed guard Garrison Matthews to a 10-day deal.

Pacers end 8-game losing streak, pick up 2nd win 127-118 over the Hornets. A more confident approach from several Pacers. Mathurin was active, hitting shots (24pts), and pulled down 12 rebounds. Huff scored 20 off the bench — and they shot 54%, easily a season-high.

Pacers have taken a 22-point lead on the Hornets midway into the 3rd, and are already at 90pts. Mathurin has 24/9 in just his second game back, but the big boost has been Jay Huff off the bench — 20pts, two shy of his career-high. They're +24pts beyond the arc too.

Hornets, who are 12/15 at the foul line, are now in the penalty for the final 8:17 of the half. Pacers' three centers with eight of the team's 13 fouls.

Pacers may have to go small -- Jackson, Bradley, and now Huff each with two fouls. Jackson replaces Huff. Hornets have a 19-11 rebound advantage too

This is new: Pacers begin a game with a 38-33 lead after 1. A lot to like about the opening period — from the actions, ball movement, shot-making, and just one turnover. Hornets are going to be tough on the glass all game, and IND was outshot at the FT line 12 to 1.

Pacers 5/5 from the field to begin this one — led by the 2022 draft class of Nembhard and Mathurin. Leading 12-5. And the thing I like most: the amount of paint touches. They're attacking.

Pacers drop to 1–13 — the worst start in franchise history. Mathurin returns. The team gives back. Kyle Guy gets a special opportunity. Plus, Bird and Magic reunite. A loaded Pacers Notebook ⬇️ www.fieldhousefiles.com/p/pacers-not...

Boom guard Kyle Guy is one of 12 players named to USA Basketball’s Men’s World Cup Qualifying Team — with games at the end of Nov. Also includes Nate Hinton and Pedro Bradshaw, who were once played for the Boom/Mad Ants. The coach is Stephen Silas.

Pacers still in search of their first road win after 127-112 loss in Detroit. Now 1-13 start. Siakam scored 29 and Mathurin had 25 in his return. Daniss Jenkins (26/8a) impressed. Duren went for 31/15. Next: Wed. v CHA

Competitive Mathurin (19) coming out hot to begin the 4th. Two straight 3s -- then fouled on a 3 in the same spot, and he made the first two FTs. 8pts in 79secs. Pacers' deficit is 12.

Pacers called for a foul 13 seconds into the second half. It's on Isaiah Jackson (going against Duren) -- and it's his fourth. Bradley replaced him.

Pistons pour in 36pts in 2Q to grow their lead on the Pacers to 16, 62-46 at the half. Deficit was as large as 21. Same story for the Pacers: poor shooting (32%), turnovers (13), and getting handled in the paint (-10). They clawed back in the 2nd, but everything is a struggle

Here goes Isaiah Stewart again vs. the Pacers. ... Throws a forearm at the neck of Isaiah Jackson. It's a Flagrant-1 foul, after review. Meanwhile, Pacers working an 8-0 burst.

Pacers have managed to score just four points in the last 8+ minutes of game time. Outscored 24-4 by the Pistons to now trail by 21.

Pistons center Jalen Duren getting whatever he wants inside. An and-1, then another jam. He's up to 15/6. Pacers with just six FGs to Pistons' 13. Paint points an issue again too: 16-4

Start of Pacers-Pistons followed a familiar script: Pacers scored first for the 8th time this season, led early ... then Pistons went on a run while the Pacers got cold, held to 5 of 17 shooting. Seven turnovers too. They trail 26-21 after 1. Siakam has 8pts. Eight of their 21pts scored at FT line.

Mathurin is back tonight at Detroit — and in the starting lineup. He had games of 36 and 26 points to open the season before the turf toe injury. Starters: Nembhard, Mathurin, Walker, Siakam, Jackson — who is back home in Michigan.

Mathurin to return Monday night in Detroit www.fieldhousefiles.com/p/mathurin-t...

Pacers starting guard Bennedict Mathurin (right great toe sprain) has been upgraded to questionable for Monday’s game in Detroit and is on track to make his return. He last played Oct. 25 in Memphis.

A fifth straight Pacers loss by 17+ points: 129-111 to the Raptors. Siakam (30) and Nembhard (22) combined for 52 of 111 points. It was a 7-point game with 3:25 left in the 3Q. But they allowed 33 fast break points, outscored 78-38 in the paint. Next: Mon. at DET

Pacers issued a technical for calling a timeout they didn't have. They're down 22 and trying to get things back on track. 5:38 left tonight

Pacers down 16 after 3, giving up 101 points to the Raptors. Of which, 30pts scored in transition and 66 in the paint. That's the game.

Pacers’ transition defense has reached a truly concerning level. Getting beat time and time again. Just not there.

Pascal Siakam, the game's leading scorer (21), whistled for his fourth foul with 8:21 left in the 3Q. May have to play through it. He has five 3s, one fewer than the Raptors. They haven't needed the outside shot as they're dominating inside.

Pacers trailing the Raptors 62-53 at the half. Siakam and Nembhard combined for 31 of IND's first 48pts. It's the details and defense where they're really lacking. Need more from their inside play too, -20 in the paint. Barrett, Quickley, Ingram all with 10+ pts.

Rick Carlisle not letting anything go tonight. He's called three timeouts after little things add up. - steals for layups - help slow to arrive - sagging off a shooter - yielding easy paint points The standard is the standard — and they've got to meet it.
