Pacers handle the Hornets 119-105 for their 8th win in 10 games — and No. 45 this season. Six games left.
They were in control all four quarters. Haliburton has 22/10a, Nesmith scored 16 and both Turner/Siakam had 15.
Next: Fri. v UTA – 9:16 PM

More on this storyline
Siakam credited much of the team’s success to his former head coach, Nick Nurse, who won the NBA’s coach of the year the following season. “He would just come one day and just introduce something like the day before the game, and we would do it during the game. Just little things like that, I’d never really seen… like [the strategy of bringing in an extra player to defend on the] strong side corner. Most coaches always told me you’re not supposed to do that. We did a lot of things that a lot of people didn’t do back then. Credit to [my teammates], we [had] a lot of smart guys.” -via Daily Hive / April 2, 2025
Unsurprisingly, Pascal Siakam also gave props to Kawhi Leonard, who won the 2019 NBA Finals MVP during his lone season with the Raptors. “I think for me, there was a point where he looked like nobody can stop him, like he could just do whatever he wants. There were points where you just give him the ball and he’s just going to get to one spot, and there was nothing you could do about it… the handle was tight, the three was there, and then he would go and dunk on you too,” Siakam added. -via Daily Hive / April 2, 2025
Despite the exit, Pascal Siakam recently took some time to reflect on his years in Toronto, sharing a few of his memories from his time in the city. “I mean, Game 1 of the finals was insane. I didn’t really like think of it [in the moment], I’m just in it, I’m just really playing… I think that was one of those moments that I watched back and I’m like ‘oh my God that was incredible’? Like this was really the NBA Finals,” Siakam said in an interview that dropped this week with the Young Man and the Three podcast. -via Daily Hive / April 2, 2025
