The Bobcats bested the Pacers by three in the second quarter cutting their deficit to only 10, 43-53, going into the half.

The Pacers continued to hold the lead going into half, 53-34. The third quarter saw back and forth spurts with the Bobcats cutting the lead to within five. But, they couldn’t hold on and the quarter ended with the Pacers still holding the lead, 84-68.
