The victory was the second win in five for the Pacers, who had won four straight before this run. The Pacers rallied from a 19-point deficit on the back of a 36-23 fourth-quarter performance and an injury to Wizards reserve guard Malcolm Brogdam to lead with three points before the Wizards forced overtime after Jordan Poole tied the game.
