Tyrese Haliburton gets called for his second foul. He subs out with 3:01 left in the 1Q. Buddy Hield replaces him and Jalen Smith relieves Oshae. #Pacers3:29 PM
Tony East @TEastNBA
Terry Taylor checks in as backup center. Was curious where (if) his spot in the rotation would be with all the new guys after he missed the last game. Immediately finds Oshae Brissett for a dunk. – 3:26 PM

Terry Taylor checking in at center. He’s guarding KAT. #Pacers3:25 PM

that DLo & KAT pick and roll is lethal. pic.twitter.com/zPIddcCtyo3:25 PM

Osha333 Brissett with his third 3. #Pacers lead 21-17. – 3:23 PM
Dane Moore @DaneMooreNBA
The effectiveness of the KAT-DLo pick and roll is going up. Time to spike the volume. – 3:22 PM
Tony East @TEastNBA
Chris Duarte just got hurt and exited the game for Lance Stephenson. He tripped over a Wolves player a few possessions ago and injured something. Not on the Pacers bench right now. – 3:20 PM
James Boyd @RomeovilleKid
Lance Stephenson just subbed in for Chris Duarte. Duarte went to the locker room. Something to keep an eye on. Duarte tripped over someone’s fit and landed on his side earlier in the game. #Pacers3:20 PM
Scott Agness @ScottAgness
Chris Duarte tweaked his ankle so Rick Carlisle used a timeout. He wanted to return to the court, but was in too much pain.
Now is heading back to the locker room. – 3:20 PM
James Boyd @RomeovilleKid
Oshae Brissett with two early 3s. #Pacers up 13-7. – 3:15 PM

Ty leaves it off for Goga 🔨

Buddy Hield just went behind his back at midcourt to avoid a take foul by D’Angelo Russell, then finished with a flush. Really impressive. – 3:15 PM
Minnesota Timberwolves PR @Twolves_PR
With his first triple of the afternoon, @Anthony Edwards surpasses 2,500 points, becoming the 4th-youngest (20y192d) player in @NBA history to reach the 2500-career-point mark.

Tyrese Haliburton with a dime to Goga Bitadze for a dunk to start the game. #Pacers3:13 PM

I try to keep Chris Duarte’s quotes as raw as possible for my stories. Sometimes he’s self-conscious about his English, but there’s no shame in the imperfections.
One time @PatBoylanPacers reminded Chris that his English is still better than our Spanish. 😂

Malcolm Brogdon was listed as questionable today, and Rick Carlisle wasn’t sure if he would be available or not today pregame. He’s officially OUT. The Brogdon + Haliburton backcourt debut will have to wait. – 2:14 PM
James Boyd @RomeovilleKid
Malcolm Brogdon (right Achilles) is OUT today. #Pacers2:13 PM
Indiana Pacers @Pacers

I couldn’t be more excited for the big game today
It should be hard fought, competitive throughout and the winner will probably be whoever executes best in the 4th quarter
But enough about Timberwolves at Pacers… – 2:09 PM
Dane Moore @DaneMooreNBA
My @PrizePicks for Wolves-Pacers
KAT over 1.5 made 3s
– Guarded by Bitadze/Thompson
Brissett over 20.5 pts + rebs + asts
– Plays like Javonte Green from the Bulls
Hailburton over 2 made FTs
– Wolves foul rate
Bitadze under 16.5 pts + rebs + asts
– Could get played off floor – 1:58 PM
James Boyd @RomeovilleKid
Forgot to share this from yesterday. But Tyrese Haliburton’s father, John, is a high school referee. So I asked him if they ever disagree on calls.
“He’s a terrible ref if you ask me, but it’s all love.” 😂😂 #Pacers pic.twitter.com/je1uZlILMH1:55 PM

James Boyd @RomeovilleKid
Timberwolves coach Chris Finch says Tyrese Haliburton is “really growing into a dangerous player.”
Noted that he was in Houston when James Harden became a full-blown star and sees a similar opportunity for Haliburton with the #Pacers. – 1:40 PM
Dane Moore @DaneMooreNBA
Anthony Edwards in IN today against Indiana – 1:36 PM
Tony East @TEastNBA
Anthony Edwards in IN for Minnesota today. He will play against the Pacers. – 1:35 PM
James Boyd @RomeovilleKid
Chris Finch says Anthony Edwards (left patella tendinopathy) is IN tonight. #Pacers1:35 PM
Dane Moore @DaneMooreNBA
Thought this would be a great KAT matchup today against the Pacers, who, similar to the Bulls, don’t have anyone to check KAT. Just Goga Bitadze and Isaiah Jackson.
But now, with Jackson being ruled out, we’re going to see Tristan Thompson play. KAT v. Tristan… – 1:34 PM
James Boyd @RomeovilleKid
Rick Carlisle describes Tyrese Haliburton as “a piece that would fit in any puzzle.” #Pacers1:29 PM
James Boyd @RomeovilleKid
Also, Terry Taylor is available today after missing the last game due to a non-COVID-19 illness. #Pacers1:26 PM
James Boyd @RomeovilleKid
Rick Carlisle says the #Pacers have to take care of the ball against the Timberwolves, who have one of the most explosive offenses in the league. – 1:25 PM
James Boyd @RomeovilleKid
Rick Carlisle says he hasn’t heard anything about Malcolm Brogdon’s status. Doubts that he will play today. Brogdon’s been out with a sore right Achilles. #Pacers1:21 PM
James Boyd @RomeovilleKid
Hey, #iubb fans, do you remember former Maryland star Jalen Smith? The guy who taunted you all after the Terps staged a comeback win against the Hoosiers in 2020? Lol of course you do.
Well, he’s back in Indiana after the #Pacers traded for him. indystar.com/story/sports/n…1:13 PM

No idea if it’s a record, but Nikola Jokic having 3 game-saving blocks in the last 6 seconds of games in one season is kind of crazy.
Throw in Barton’s vs. Minnesota (https://t.co/o3T7UvulZ8) & the Nuggets have 4 as a team. pic.twitter.com/oJa1eUut3P9:52 AM

#Pacers injury report: Isaiah Jackson (right ankle sprain) is OUT today against the Timberwolves. Malcolm Brogdon (sore right Achilles) is questionable.
