The Golden State Warriors came out strong on Friday night against the Indiana Pacers, stretching a lead to 12 points in the second quarter. However, before halftime, the Warriors’ struggles at home began to creep up. Tyrese Haliburton buried a 3-pointer in the final seconds of the first half to cut Golden State’s lead to one point.
After evaporating the Warriors’ first-half cushion, the Pacers never looked back.
Led by Haliburton and Pascal Siakam, the Pacers outscored the Warriors, 36-21, in the third quarter to take a commanding lead on the way to handing Golden State a 123-111 loss at Chase Center. Haliburton and Siakam combined for 51 points in the Pacers’ win in San Francisco on Friday evening.
Steph Curry led the Warriors with 25 points on 9-of-24 shooting from the field with six made 3-pointers to go along with 11 rebounds and five assists in 35 minutes. Klay Thompson added 17 points off the bench. However, the veteran shooter was held to just two points in the second half.

Warriors fall to the Pacers 123-111. Another bad home loss. It’s the 11th time this season they’ve squandered a double-digit lead.

Another bad home loss for the Warriors. Pacers blasted them out of halftime to create separation. They’re now 18-19 in Chase Center this season. Warriors only two games up on Rockets for #10 seed (they do hold tiebreaker).
GSW next three: @ Wolves, @ Heat, @ Magic.
