Pascal Siakam gave Indiana the lead for good with a three-point play with 4:43 remaining, Andrew Nembhard harassed Stephen Curry into a poor shooting night and the Pacers earned a 111-105 victory over the Golden State Warriors on Monday in San Francisco.
The Pacers, playing the tail end of a back-to-back set, found themselves in a 97-95 hole before Siakam scored inside and drew a foul. His free throw gave Indiana a one-point lead with 4:43 to go.
The margin was just two when Curry, who went the entire first half without a make from the field, attempted a potential go-ahead 3-pointer with 47 seconds remaining. It was off the mark, and when Myles Turner countered with a triple of his own with 16.7 seconds left, the Pacers had a five-point cushion that they massaged to the end.
Curry finished with 10 points but went just 2-for-13 from the field. Both of his successes were 3-pointers, though he took nine shots from beyond the arc.
Turner paced Indiana with 23 points to complement a game-high 10 rebounds and three blocks for his fourth double-double of the season.
Siakam chipped in 20 points, while Tyrese Haliburton had 16 points to go along with a game-high 12 assists. Nembhard added 15 points, T.J. McConnell finished with 13 and Bennedict Mathurin posted 12 for the Pacers, who won their fifth straight game.
The Pacers have never lost in the history of the Warriors' Chase Center, going 6-0 there.
Jonathan Kuminga came off the bench to lead all scorers with 26 points for the Warriors, who lost for the 10th time in their past 13 games.
Kuminga also found time to share team-high rebound honors with Trayce Jackson-Davis (eight boards apiece).
Andrew Wiggins had 16 points and Jackson-Davis and Buddy Hield netted 13 apiece for Golden State, which was outshot 48.9 percent to 43.3 percent overall.
Indiana took control of the game at the end of the first half, closing the second quarter on a 16-3 run to take a 62-54 advantage into the break. Mathurin sparked the rally with a pair of layups.
