Golden State Warriors vs Indiana Pacers Match Player Stats On Dec 13, 2021

Kevon Looney grabbed a loose ball after Stephen Curry missed a potential record-tying 3-point attempt and flipped in a tiebreaking layup with 13.4 seconds remaining Monday night, giving the Golden State Warriors a 102-100 victory over the Indiana Pacers in Indianapolis.

After trailing almost the entire second half, the Warriors rallied into a 100-all tie with 48.5 seconds to go following consecutive Curry hoops, including a 3-pointer that was his fifth of the game, leaving Curry one short of Ray Allen's all-time record.

Malcolm Brogdon misfired with a chance to put the Pacers back on top with 36.6 seconds remaining, giving Curry a shot at putting the Warriors in front.

His 3-pointer was off the mark, but the ball ricocheted amid bodies right to Looney, who capped a 14-point performance with his point-blank lay-in.

The Pacers had a chance to tie, but Warriors defensive ace Gary Payton II forced Caris LeVert into fumbling the ball out of bounds with 2.2 seconds left.

After a timeout, Draymond Green intentionally inbounded the ball to the Pacers' Oshae Brissett 94 feet from the Indiana hoop, and with the hosts having exhausted their timeout allotment, the Pacers couldn't get off a shot.

After hitting just two 3-pointers while the Warriors were falling behind 55-47 at halftime, Curry finished 5-for-15, giving him 2,972 for his career.

The 33-year-old will need just one to tie Allen and two to grab the all-time lead when the Warriors visit the New York Knicks on Tuesday on the second night of a back-to-back.
