Takeaways

Kings

Sacramento will remain in 10th place in the Western Conference, the final spot in the play-in tournament, but was in good shape for a victory that would have helped in the quest to move up to No. 9, which would mean a home game.

Pacers

Indiana bounced back from a loss at Oklahoma City to win for the seventh time in nine games and now gets a little break in the schedule, with home games against lottery teams against Charlotte and Utah up next.

Key moment

Haliburton made the go-ahead 3-pointer for a 100-98 lead with 1:17 to play, then Pascal Siakam hit one to make it a five-point advantage with 36 seconds remaining.

Key stat

Haliburton was 4 for 5 in the final period for 11 points.

Up next

The Pacers host Charlotte on Wednesday. Sacramento is at Washington on Wednesday.
