Sacramento Kings at Indiana Pacers
· National Basketball Association
Pacers come from 16 points down in the second half to beat the Kings 111-109
Tyrese Haliburton had 18 points and 11 assists against his former team for the Pacers. Jarace Walker scored 15 points.
DeMar DeRozan led the Kings with 31 points and eight assists. Former Pacers center Domantas Sabonis had 25 points and 16 rebounds.
Zach LaVine finished with 20 points for Sacramento, which led 76-60 midway through the third quarter.
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.
