The Indiana Pacers (17-9) had not lost consecutive games all season until Friday night when they lost to the Memphis Grizzlies 98-92.
The score was tied after each of the first three quarters before a back-and-forth fourth quarter evoked the feeling of an exciting finish destined for overtime. However, after Indiana answered a Memphis run with a 9-0 run of their own to tie the game at 86 with four and a half minutes remaining, the Grizzlies responded with a 7-1 run that the Pacers could not recover from.
Rudy Gay led the Griz with 21 points. David West was the game's high-scorer with 22 points and 13 rebounds.
Indiana returns home to play the Denver Nuggets tomorrow night.
