Spurs top testy Pacers, 98-106 in Texas.

Brandon Ingram led the Spurs to a gritty win over the tough Indiana Pacers, whom with a better performance by Myles Turner may have stolen this game. The Slender-Man had 22 points, 7 rebounds. P.J. Tucker had a breakout night with 20 points, hitting a dazzling six 3PT shots. Dejounte Murray had a solid 16 points, with Fred VanVleet dropping 13 with 2 steals (4-8 3PT, 42% avg this season). Drummond tormented the glass with 17 rebounds, as did Thomas Bryant (11 rebounds).

For Indiana, it took a 4th Quarter swing in San Antonio's favor to prove the difference, 25-35, in the Spurs direction, as Victor Oladipo scored 19 points. James Johnson had 12 points, 9 rebounds with Malcolm Brogdon finishing with 10 points & 6 assists. Myles Turner had 13 points, but only 6 points (1-10 FG). The Pacers won the third period, 27-22, nearly buckling the home team were it not for its stars coming through for the San Antonio faithful.

The Lakers are next to visit, the last of the season series that the Spurs lead 3-0.
