Bahamian professional basketball player Chavano ‘Buddy’ Hield and the Indiana Pacers picked up their 15th win of the season with a 123-117 triumph over the Houston Rockets on Tuesday. The win lifted the Pacers to over .500 basketball coming out of the Christmas break.
The road win at the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas, improved the Pacers to a 15-14 win/loss record on the season. The win also snapped a three-game skid. The Rockets have a 15-13 record.
The Pacers were efficient as a team, finishing the night at 52.4 percent from the field. They connected on 19 shots from deep compared to the Rockets’ five made three-pointers.
Leading the way for the Pacers was guard Tyrese Haliburton with a game-high 33 points. Alperen Sengun led the Rockets with 30 points.
It was a back-and-forth game that had 15 lead changes but none as important for the Pacers as Haliburton’s made three-point shot with just over a minute left in the game. That shot gave them a 120-117 lead. They never trailed again.
Hield had a key offensive rebound with 42.1 seconds left in the game and Pacers’ Head Coach Rick Carlisle called a timeout.
Coming out of the timeout, the Pacers made a key bucket to go up 122-117.
It was a close game at the end of the first half as the Rockets led 67-64. The Pacers took control in the third quarter. They outscored the Rockets, 37-23, to take a 101-90 lead heading into the final quarter. Hield was most impactful in that fourth quarter as he made two shots from deep.
The Pacers return to action tonight when they take on the Chicago Bulls (14-18) at the United Center in Chicago, Illinois. Tip-off is set for 8 p.m.
