20 for KAT (9 for 13) and 18 for Ant (6 for 11) at halftime. Everyone else on the Wolves is 7 for 16 from the field.
That’s why this one is close: Wolves 57, Pacers 55 – 9:09 PM

It was the Anthony Edwards show in the 2Q — four 3s and 18pts to give Wolves a 57-55 lead. Towns has 20pts.
Pacers 12-0 adv. in fast break points despite no Haliburton or Nembhard. All in all, good half for IND.
Also, good game for fans wanting to see Jarace Walker. 12 1H mins. – 9:09 PM

KAT is up to 20 points in 13 minutes. But the Pacers are having little trouble offensively even without Haliburton. They’re shooting 53% and have racked up 26 points in the paint. – 8:50 PM

Really do think NAW can add some pick and roll juice to the non-Conley minutes — which is gonna help the rolling bigs (Naz/Rudy) and the offense as a whole. – 8:45 PM

14 1st quarter points from KAT (all 2s). Pacers were more helping on him than straight doubling, and KAT was smartly very decisive against that look.
Really important with Ant going 0 for 4, 2 turnovers and 2 fouls in his 6 minutes. – 8:34 PM

Pacers complete a six-game, 12-day road trip tonight in Minneapolis. They didn’t arrive to the city until 3hrs before tip-off.
And they’re without their top two PGs: Haliburton and Nembhard.
Timberwolves (18-5) have the best record in the west, winning 7 of their last 8 games. – 7:11 PM

The Pacers had mechanical trouble in DC last night with their plane and they had to fly to Minneapolis today. They landed and came right to the arena. AND Tyrese Haliburton will not play. Uphill battle against the top team in the West – 6:48 PM

Kansas picked up its first-ever win at Assembly Hall, storming back from 13 down in the second half to knock off Indiana.
The Jayhawks don’t have depth, but their top four makes for a lethal and unflappable nucleus.

Pretty aggravated not to get my Indiana State -13 winner. Won by 11. Led by 23. Ball State shot it incredibly well from 3. Wow, Tee Higgins! That was nuts. 5% NBA and Bowl play go off later. This is my Arizona vs. Purdue preview: sportingnews.com/us/betting/new… – 4:01 PM

FINAL: Kansas 75, Indiana 71.
That’s a huge road win for the Jayhawks despite playing poorly for much of the game. McCullar was money when it mattered most.
And a huge missed opportunity for Indiana.
Trey Galloway was awesome for the Hoosiers. Career-high 28. – 2:53 PM

Indiana gets a pair of 3’s from Mgbako and Galloway to push the lead back to 11 after the Jayhawks put some game pressure on IU coming out of halftime.
KU just doesn’t have a ton of guys that want/can make plays off bounce — so important in a game where Hunter Dickinson is… – 2:02 PM
