Tony East: Pacers survive a dreadful game and beat the Wizards 104-98. They improve to 48-31, and their magic number for homecourt advantage is 1. Ugly, ugly game. That was the Pacers lowest FG% all season (37.9%). But they made 29 free throws and played the Wizards. Pascal Siakam with 24 and 10.

Rough 1H for the Pacers — yet it’s tied at 48 after a buzzer-beating layup from Haliburton, his first FG. But he’s holding his low back after a hard landing.
Siakam (16) kept them in it early, then Mathurin scored 11 of his 12pts in the 2nd.
They’re just 1/14 from range. – 8:09 PM

Pascal Siakam is back tonight and in the starting lineup.
The Pacers host the Wizards and they’re going for the season sweep: 4-0.
With four games left until the playoffs, they’ve won four in a row and 10 of 12. – 6:37 PM

Pascal Siakam and Ben Sheppard are both questionable for Tuesday v Wizards, first of a three-game homestand. – 6:04 PM

Scott Agness: Myles Turner postgame: “We’re a band of brothers right now. We know what we do well. We’ve got a lot of role clarity. We were missing Pascal (Siakam) tonight and I think he’s a big part of what we do. “When we’re firing on all cylinders, we’re hard to beat.” -via x.com / April 6, 2025
