The @Pacers beat the Raptors 140-123 last night, the 10th time they’ve scored at least 140 points in a game this season. That ties the NBA record for most such games in a season set by the 1981-82 Nuggets.

Can we finally agree that good starts are overrated, at least in basketball? Pacers prove it nearly every game. Purdue did in the NCAA tournament. – 8:42 AM
@michaelgrange
Pascal Siakam got his chance to play ‘meaningful basketball’ this season, he just had to get traded to do it. All the Raptors can do as a broken season winds down is pledge to fix it: sportsnet.ca/nba/article/as… – 8:09 AM

#Celtics 1R opponent odds haven’t changed much: #76ers 25% #Heat 23.4% #Hawks 19.8% #Bulls 19.2%
#Bucks 66.2% odds of 2 seed after that big win
#Knicks 48.9% at 3
Likely 4-5 (BOS bracket) #Magic #Cavaliers, but #Pacers will have a say.
Still plenty of games to go 2-6. – 7:49 AM
@RealBobManning
Huge sigh of relief for the #Bucks, who have a cushion on 2 with the NYK tiebreaker and even if they do drop, it wouldn’t be the worst thing for them with MIA/PHI looming at 7. Then again..IND hasn’t been kind to them either. Giannis, regardless, has a good week or two until POs. – 7:40 AM

@joevardon
The Heat, Sixers, and Pacers all win, but a potential serious Giannis injury would bring different meaning to a first-round series against the Bucks, @TheAthleticNBA theathletic.com/live-blogs/nba… – 10:45 PM
@IanBegley
NYK has BOS, BKN & CHI to finish season. ORL has MIL, PHI, MIL. In addition to ORL games, MIL has OKC on Fri. CLE closes with MEM, IND, CHA. ORL & MIL have tie-breaker over NYK. NYK has tie-breaker over CLE. Obviously, so much swings in East on health of Giannis Antetokounmpo. – 10:40 PM
@SeanGrandePBP
26 days after the Celtics became the first, Milwaukee is the 2nd to clinch an Eastern Conference Playoff spot.
Bucks, Knicks, Sixers, Pacers and Heat (2-OT) win.
Magic, Bulls and Hawks lose.

Just filed item noting that the Raptors home season — 14-27 — is second worst ever in a full season. Worst than the expansion team, worst than the Tampa Tank.
One only worst was stinker 16-66 season – 10:13 PM

Raptors end their hope schedule with a 140-123 loss to Pascal Siakam and the Indiana Pacers. Raptors win % at Scotiabank this year was .341. Their ‘home’ winning percentage in Tampa in 2021-21 was .444. – 9:30 PM
@ekoreen
Let the record show the Raptors’ home season ended with Malik Williams attempting a 3.
‘Topes lose. 140-123. 23/4/4 for RJ, 22/5/4 for KO. 30 for Haliburton, 23 for Toppin off bench.
Bye. – 9:28 PM
@JLew1050
The Raptors will finish the season with a 14-27 record at home. Their .341 home winning percentage and -6.1 point differential both rank 2nd-worst in franchise history – they went 9-32 with a -7.9 point differential in Toronto during their 16-win 1997-98 season. – 9:28 PM
@ScottAgness
Pacers have many recent bad memories vs the Raptors that this one was all about the good vibes.
After a concerning 1Q, Pacers crushed the Raptors the rest of the way, 140-123. 5th win in 6 games.
Haliburton scored 30, Toppin had 23, TJM with 17/7a.
Next: Fri. at CLE. – 9:28 PM
@SmithRaps
We’re about done here
Wraps the home portion of the season and what a home Raptors portion it’s been – 9:23 PM
@ScottAgness
This is Tyrese Haliburton’s best offensive game since his injury in early January.
28pts and notably, he’s 7 of 10 from the FT line.
Pacers cruising to win No. 46 this season. – 9:21 PM
@ScottAgness
Obi Toppin thriving tonight and his body language says it all. Loose & having fun.
He’s making himself some $$ with more of this consistent production — and continuing into the playoffs.
He’s shooting 41% from range this season and has scored 13+ pts in the last 5 games. – 9:14 PM
@ekoreen
Man, RJ Barrett absorbs a lot of body contact on his drives. Strong dude. – 9:13 PM
@WolstatSun
Raptors will finish 14-27 at home, the second-worst home record in franchise history (lockout and COVID shortened seasons not included).
9-32 in 1997-98 was the low point. – 9:11 PM
@JLew1050
Somehow, the Raptors attempted 17 free throws in the 3rd (to Indiana’s 3) & were still outscored 41-27 in the quarter. Not easy to do! Also, that quarter took 33 minutes, thanks in large part to those FTs, 17 combined fouls & a late challenge (that the Raps won!). Pacers by 15. – 8:56 PM
@ScottAgness
Pacers with consecutive 40-point quarters in Toronto. +14 in the 3Q, their best all season, to grow the lead to 15.
Haliburton leads them with 20pts. They shot 57% and turned it over just once while outscoring the Raptors 8-0 on the run; that’s more like it. – 8:55 PM
@Pacers
Tyrese Haliburton with the coast-to-coast slam ‼️ pic.twitter.com/AXVjKc6iCD – 8:37 PM
@ekoreen
This Raptors season felt long, and that was before this third quarter. – 8:36 PM
@ScottAgness
Nobody stopped the ball and Tyrese Haliburton took it 90 feet to the basket for a one-handed jam … and then he got as fired up as we’ve seen. A huge throw down.
And now they’ve went from down 12 to up 10 in Toronto. – 8:33 PM

A thing I learned today: Montell Jordan (who performed at halftime) is 6-foot-8.
Can he hit a 3? (Raptors are 3-for-13) – 8:17 PM
@SmithRaps
Pacers 65, Raptors 64 at half, JFL 16, Brown 14, RJ 12
Fanapalooza, indeed – 8:14 PM
@WolstatSun
Tonight’s Woz fact of the day:
Pascal Siakam ranks fifth in career points at Toronto.
He trails only DeMar DeRozan, Chris Bosh, Kyle Lowry and Vince Carter. – 8:08 PM
@KyleNeubeck
Playoff implications watch:
Sixers up 12 w/ 32 seconds left in the first half
Pacers up 65-64 over Toronto at halftime
Heat lead by 3 after 1 vs. Atlanta – 8:07 PM
@ScottAgness
After a troubling start, -10 after the 1Q, Turner + Haliburton end the half w/ consecutive 3s to put Pacers up 1.
Freeman-Liberty out of nowhere has 16/5 in 18mins. Haliburton has 15, TJM with 11.
Pacers have struggled against Raptors all season. Allowed 42 paint points. – 8:06 PM
@ekoreen
Raps mostly controlled that half, but Pacers have 8 3PM to the Raptors’ 3 and lead 65-64. 15 for Haliburton, 16 for JFL, 10 and 4 for Siakam, 12 for RJ. – 8:06 PM
@SmithRaps
Kelly Olynyk going all Jamal Crawford with the crossovers tonight
There’s nothing like April basketball and a team out of it – 7:58 PM
@SmithRaps
Raptors by 7, 4 1/2 until halftime, JFL has tied career (well, year) record with 16 points – 7:53 PM
@JLew1050
Through 18 minutes:
Bruce Brown/Jordan Nwora: 16 points, 7-10 FG
Pascal Siakam: 6 points, 2-3 FG
So, the Raptors won the trade, right? 😜 – 7:51 PM
@WolstatSun
Every time the Raptors play the Pacers I’m reminded how surprised I was the Raptors didn’t get Jackson, Nesmith or Jalen Smith in the Pascal deal. – 7:51 PM
@ekoreen
Bruce Brown is hitting a season’s worth of contested floaters tonight. – 7:48 PM
@wcgoldberg
Heat are 3 of 4 from distance to start this game. Big difference from Sunday’s loss in Indiana. – 7:46 PM
@ekoreen
Looked like Rick Carlisle just went off on Nesmith and Ben Sheppard for messing up inbound defensively. His team has been just bleh so far. – 7:44 PM
@WolstatSun
Raptors guard Javon Freeman-Liberty scored 14 points in a quarter on the Pacers. His career high is 16. Giving his all on fan appreciation night. – 7:35 PM
@JLew1050
Javon Freeman-Liberty’s season/career-high is 16 points. He just scored 14 in 12 first-quarter minutes. April basketball, baby!
Raptors playing spoiler so far, lead Indy 35-25 after 1Q. – 7:35 PM
@SmithRaps
Raptors up 35-25 after 1, JFL goes all 12 and has 14 points. His career high is 16 – 7:35 PM
@JLew1050
*T.J. McConnell and Doug McDermott check in*
@ekoreen: “They’re going to torch the Raptors.”
*They each hit a 3 in their first minute on the floor… Raptors call timeout* – 7:28 PM
@ekoreen
Well, we have a Kelly Olynyk crossover and the Raptors starters handily outplaying the Pacers’. – 7:24 PM
@JLew1050
Seeds 2-8 in the East are separated by 4 games, so the 6th-place Pacers need every win they can get to keep up and avoid the play-in. Naturally, the plucky 25-53 Raptors lead Indy by 11 after 3.5 minutes and Javon Freeman-Liberty has 7 of their 13 points. Sure. – 7:18 PM
@ekoreen
A 3, a middy and a steal + dunk for JFL as the Raptors look to play spoiler. 9-2 early. – 7:13 PM
@SmithRaps
Starring in the role of Ben Uzoh tonight, Javon Freeman-Liberty

Some pregame reading before #Celtics #Bucks…where tiebreakers, standings and the race for 7-10 in the play-in tournament stand with 3-4 games left.
BOS-MIL, DET-PHI, IND-TOR, MIA-ATL, ORL-HOU,NYK-CHI could all swing the standings drastically tonight: clnsmedia.com/east-playoff-s… – 6:55 PM

Game of rest from Quickley and Dick’s out, too Raptors will start Freeman-Liberty, Trent, Barrett, Agbaji and Olynyk in the home finale – 6:39 PM
@RealBobManning
The #Magic put in work on the tiebreaker front…they break ties vs. the #Knicks, #Cavaliers, #Pacers and could still clinch the important one vs. the #Bucks. They had such a brilliant season. – 6:11 PM

@SmithRaps
Checking historically bad Raptors season, the starters for the last game of the butt-ugly 16-66 season were TWO future Hall of Famers – Billups and McGrady – two very, very good NBAers in Doug Christie and Marcus Camby and a certifiable bucket-getter in John Wallace.
They lost – 3:08 PM
