INDIANAPOLIS — – Pascal Siakam<\/a> sank a 14-foot jumper with a second left to give the Indiana Pacers<\/a> a 103-101 victory over the Chicago Bulls<\/a> on Saturday night.<\/p>\n

Siakam led the Pacers with 24 points and nine rebounds, while Bennedict Mathurin<\/a> scored 19. Isaiah Jackson<\/a> had 14 points and 11 rebounds off the bench.<\/p>\n

Josh Giddey<\/a> finished with 17 points and 11 rebounds for the Bulls. Tre Jones<\/a> also scored 17, and Nikola Vucevic<\/a> added 16 points and eight boards.<\/p>\n

Chicago started the final quarter with a 15-2 spurt to take a 95-88 lead with just under 5 1\/2 minutes left.<\/p>\n

Trailing 97-90, the Pacers went on an 8-0 run to grab the lead when T.J. McConnell<\/a> hit a pull-up jumper with 2:19 remaining.<\/p>\n

After the Bulls briefly regained the lead at 99-98 on two free throws by Vucevic, the Pacers were helped when a goaltending call on Jay Huff<\/a> was overturned. After a basket by Siakam, Andrew Nembhard<\/a> hit one of two free throws to give Indiana a 101-99 advantage with 10.7 seconds left. Jones scored on a drive to tie it 101-all with 7.5 seconds to go when the Pacers were called for goaltending.<\/p>\n

Indiana shot 49% in the first half and took a 61-54 halftime lead. After the Bulls scored the first seven points of the third quarter to tie it, the Pacers regained an 86-80 lead heading into the fourth.<\/p>\n

Huff scored Indiana’s first 14 points, hitting all five shots, to give the Pacers a 14-9 lead. He didn’t score again, but finished with eight rebounds and four blocks.<\/p>\n

Nembhard, who had 14 points, returned after missing Friday night’s game against Washington with a bruised right quadriceps.<\/p>\n

The Bulls were without Coby White<\/a>, averaging 24.2 points in five games this season, because of a right calf strain. Chicago coach Billy Donovan said this was the last time White will have management limitations in a back-to-back situation.<\/p>\n
