The Philadelphia 76ers defeated the Indiana Pacers, 129-126, at Wells Fargo on Wednesday.

The 76ers (23-14) and the Pacers (21-18) played a tight game and needed five extra minutes to find a winner in overtime, but in the end, the Sixers pulled away with the victory. The Pacers enjoyed a strong start and led in the first quarter by a 28-27 score, but the Sixers responded with a 39-33 score in the second quarter. A 31-23 score in the third quarter boosted Philly’s third quarter to double digits, and it seemed they’d run away with the win with ease.

The Sixers tightened the grip in the final minutes, though, and they outscored their rivals by a 9-6 score in overtime, and that was enough to get the victory.
