Unorthodox lineups and the loss of starters due to injury have the Sixers reeling in the midst of a road trip.
Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner shoots over Sixers guard Tyrese Maxey and guard Ricky Council IV during the second half of their game inside the Gainbridge Fieldhouse on Saturday.INDIANAPOLIS — Ricky Council IV shook free for a driving dunk, slicing what had been a double-digit Pacers’ fourth-quarter lead to six with about three minutes to go.
That left the Sixers with a starting lineup including Council , Eric Gordon, and a back-from-injury Andre Drummond alongside regulars Maxey and Kelly Oubre Jr. . Other personnel groupings peppered in rookies Justin Edwards, Adem Bona, and two-way guard Jeff Dowtin Jr. Indiana built multiple 11-point advantages in the second quarter, including when All-Star point guard Tyrese Haliburton found Siakam for a dunk that made the score 59-48 with just 2 minutes, and 12 seconds remaining before the break. But the Sixers closed the half on a 15-4 run — including two Maxey finishes on a fast break and a Bona dunk in the final minute — to trim the gamp to 61-59.
