Indiana Pacers Back to .500 with Gritty Win Over Orlando Magic

The Indiana Pacers held on for a hard-fought 118-111 victory over the Orlando Magic, evening their record at 4-4. Jarace Walker had a breakout performance, scoring 17 points on a perfect 7-for-7 shooting night, adding six rebounds, two steals, and a block. Walker’s performance, along with bench contributions from T.J. McConnell, who scored 15 points, helped Indiana maintain control. After a slow start to the season, the Pacers have now won three of their last four games and will look to keep up the momentum as they prepare to face the Charlotte Hornets on Friday.
