The Pacers returned to Gainbridge Fieldhouse on the second night of a back-to-back to face the Philadelphia 76ers. I assumed that the game would be at a fast pace because most teams want to try and run the “tired” team on the back end of two games in two nights. The final score was not in the Pacers’ favor, falling to the 76ers 147-143.

Yes… that was the final score. If you blinked, another bucket was falling. Both teams were shooting well, and the ball was zipping around the court. It was a fun game to watch, even though the Pacers were on the losing end.

And who doesn’t like to see Will Ferrell in the house!? And 50 Cent (Curtis Jackson)!? Maybe a sign of things to come for the 2024 All-Star Game?
