Pacers Get By Rockets

Malcolm Brogdon scored 35 points, his second career-high in three games, and made the go-ahead 3-pointer with 2:22 left to lead the Indiana Pacers past the Houston Rockets 114-107 on Wednesday night.

 

James Harden finished with 15 points, his second straight sub-20-point performance as the Pacers won their second straight and beat Houston at home for the first time since January 2017.

 

After Harden scored on a late layup to make it 107-106, Brogdon answered with the go-ahead 3, Domantas Sabonis scored on a putback to extend the margin to four and Brogdon sealed the victory with two free throws with 29.9 seconds to go.

 

Indiana scored the final eight points.

 

Justin Holiday had a season-high 20 points for Indiana, while John Wall scored a season-best 28 points in his fourth game with the Rockets. Harden also had 12 assists for Houston - not enough to avoid a second straight loss.

 

The Rockets' David Nwaba had a season-high 15 points. 

 

Houston was 8 of 30 on 3s and had 16 turnovers. 

 

The Pacers will try to win their third straight when Phoenix visits Saturday.
