Hornets Overcome Pacers with Strong Second-Half Surge

Despite injuries, Charlotte Hornets rally to defeat Indiana Pacers 103-83, led by standout performances from LaMelo Ball and Brandon Miller.

The Hornets turned a 13-point third-quarter deficit into a 20-point victory, outscoring the Pacers 52-19 in the final 18 minutes.
LaMelo Ball and Brandon Miller combined for 60 points, spearheading the Hornets' comeback with impressive shooting and playmaking.
The Pacers struggled offensively, with Tyrese Haliburton scoring just six points on 2 of 11 shooting, contributing to the team's lowest scoring output since December 2022.
Pascal Siakam and Bennedict Mathurin were the Pacers' bright spots, combining for 49 points, but their efforts were not enough to hold off the Hornets.
Injuries and absences stretched the Pacers' depth, forcing them to rely on less experienced players, which impacted their defensive and rebounding capabilities.
