The Philadelphia 76ers (6 - 29) defeated the Indiana Pacers (15 - 23), 93 - 92, in a back - and - forth affair Saturday. Facing a six - point deficit at halftime, the Sixers set themselves up for victory by outscoring the Pacers, 29 - 21, in the third quarter, and Michael Carter-Williams brushed off a poor shooting night, driving for a layup with nine seconds remaining for the game winner. Putting his 6 - for - 17 performance from the field aside, he posted 15 points, nine assists, five rebounds, and one block. Tony Wroten nearly matched Carter-Williams off the bench, recording 20 points (6 - 17 FG, 2 - 5 3Pt, 6 - 7 FT), nine dimes, four rebounds, and two steals. Prior to the opening tip, coach Brett Brown exchanged Henry Sims for K.J. McDaniels in the starting five, and the latter responded with a modest 10 points, three rebounds, two blocks, and one assist in 33 minutes. The Sixers will next take the court Tuesday against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Meanwhile, the Pacers' bottom - tier offense upheld the standard set this season, hitting only 33 percent from the field, including a disastrous 4 - for - 18 from three - point range. David West led the way with 28 points and nine rebounds, but after putting his side ahead with a 12 - foot jumper with 18 seconds remaining, his evening ended with a missed 13 - footer as the final horn sounded. His frontcourt mate, Roy Hibbert, only garnered 19 minutes one night removed from logging 35 on a sprained ankle. The reduced run did n't afflict his output, though, as he accrued seven points, 13 rebounds, and two blocks. On the injury front, C.J. Miles left for good after suffering an eye abrasion with 42 seconds left in the first quarter, which allowed starting shooting guard Rodney Stuckey to pick up more minutes (35) than his typical 27 per game. As the Pacers return to Indiana for Tuesday's tilt against the Atlanta Hawks, George Hill will attempt to return from a six - game absence due to a sore left groin.
