Pacers: Defense is Indiana's calling card, and it wasn't there on Thursday. The Spurs shot 60% for the game. Indiana is now 2-7 this season when opponents shoot 52% or better.

Key moment The final 2:25 of the third quarter was a Wembanyama showcase: He had four points, three rebounds, three blocked shots and two assists in that span alone. It started with the Spurs up by 16; thanks to his tip-in with one-tenth of a second remaining, San Antonio went into the fourth with a 105-80 lead.

Key stat Thursday was the fourth time that Wembanyama finished a game with at least 30 points, 10 rebounds, five assists and five blocks. The only players with more such games in the last 50 regular seasons are Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (24), Hakeem Olajuwon (14), and David Robinson and Shaquille O'Neal (11 each).
