At halftime in Orlando, the Indiana Pacers lead the Magic, 56-47.
The Pacers' offense was in sync in the early going. Indiana made six of its first eight shots to jump out to a 14-6 lead with 8:03 left in the opening quarter. The lead grew to 18-6 before the Magic answered back.
The home team went on 12-4 run to cut the deficit to four, 22-18. Indiana would hang on to win the period, though, as it ended the quarter shooting 60 percent from the floor to take a 28-23 lead into the second.
In the second quarter, it looked like the Pacers had broken the game open. Glenn Robinson III paced the second unit with nine points, and his free throws with 6:54 left pushed Indiana's lead to 11. Not long after, Myles Turner sank a 3-pointer to give the Pacers a 47-32 advantage with 6:04 left in the half.
But the Magic responded down the stretch of the first half, eventually fighting the rest of the quarter to eventually cut Indiana's lead down to nine heading into the locker room.
Jeff Teague had a great first half for Indiana, finishing with 11 points and six assists. Paul George and Turner each added seven points.
For Orlando, Serge Ibaka had 12 points and four rebounds. Nikola Vucevic scored 11. Broadcast Information TV & Radio Listings »
