With Myles Turner and Tyrese Haliburton collaborating for 58 points on Saturday, the Indiana Pacers rallied back to upset the LA Clippers which were led by Paul George’s game-high 45 markers. This win ensured that the team finishes 2022 on a positive note while keeping an unblemished record in their current homestand.
To launch 2023, the Pacers will host the disruptive Toronto Raptors, a team they have already beaten once this season. While the visitors tout a losing record, Nick Nurse’s squad has repeatedly given Indiana fits due to their personnel and unique style of play.
The Raptors won the season series last season, taking three out of four games against the Pacers. Indiana remains ahead in the all-time series, 53-47, though Toronto has been the victor in seven of their last 11 meetings. The former has already beaten the latter this season in a 118-104 home drubbing last November 12.
