ORLANDO, FL – The Indiana Pacers suffered a narrow 112-110 defeat to the Orlando Magic despite a leading performance from Pascal Siakam, who poured in 26 points on 9-of-20 shooting. Siakam also contributed four rebounds, two steals, and a block in the losing effort.
Siakam’s scoring outburst included a 3-for-8 performance from beyond the arc and a 5-for-10 showing from the free-throw line. This marks the seventh time in his last ten games that Siakam has surpassed the 20-point mark, highlighting his consistent offensive production for the Pacers. However, his efforts weren’t enough to secure a victory for Indiana against a determined Magic squad.
