PACERS COLLAPSE in the 4th Quarter. We ALMOST Beat the 76ers! | Pacers vs. 76ers Recap

26m | Oct 30, 2026

HOW DO THE INDIANA PACERS LET THIS ONE SLIP AWAY?! The Indiana Pacers nearly pulled off an incredible comeback against the Philadelphia 76ers, but a devastating fourth-quarter collapse turned a promising night into another frustrating loss.

On this episode of Pacers Pulse Podcast, I’m breaking down the Pacers’ 114–109 loss to the 76ers, including an incredible third quarter, a heartbreaking finish, and the performances that gave Indiana a chance to win despite missing several key players.

🔥 THE THIRD-QUARTER EXPLOSION!

The Pacers entered halftime down 10 points, but Indiana came out firing after the break! The Pacers outscored Philadelphia 36–13 in the third quarter, completely flipping the game and building a 13-point lead heading into the fourth quarter. For a moment, it looked like Indiana was on its way to a statement win despite being shorthanded.

Then everything fell apart.

😤 THE FOURTH-QUARTER COLLAPSE

After taking control of the game, Indiana struggled to close it out. The 76ers outscored the Pacers 39–21 in the fourth quarter, erasing the Pacers’ lead and leaving Indiana with a painful 114–109 defeat.

How does a team go from dominating the third quarter to surrendering a 13-point lead in the fourth? We’ll break down what went wrong and what this loss tells us about the Pacers.

💪 PASCAL SIAKAM & ANDREW NEMBHARD STEP UP!

Despite the heartbreaking result, there were some impressive individual performances:

⭐ Pascal Siakam: 26 points and 11 rebounds. Siakam delivered a star-level performance, recording a double-double and doing everything he could to keep Indiana in the fight.

🔥 Andrew Nembhard: 18 points and 14 assists. Nembhard recorded a double-double, creating opportunities for his teammates and helping lead the Pacers’ offense.

🚑 THE PACERS WERE SHORTHANDED

Indiana was missing four important players:

Tyrese Haliburton
Ivica Zubac
T.J. McConnell
Ben Sheppard

Considering those absences, the Pacers’ third-quarter surge was impressive. But does that make the fourth-quarter collapse easier to accept, or is this a game Indiana absolutely should have won?
