A KJ Martin layup, off of a nice feed from Embiid when the Pacers doubled, ended Indiana’s 12-0 run. The Sixers had gone scoreless over the previous 5 minutes of play.

Sixers have altered their substitution patterns quite a bit. Second lineup of the game is McCain, Oubre Jr., George, KJ Martin, Embiid. However, they just went four minutes and 58 seconds without scoring before Embiid found KJ Martin wide open under the basket. Timeout Pacers. – 7:28 PM
