The Pacers and the Sixers put on a show in the first quarter, with both sides trading leads several times.
James and the Sixers would then find their groove in the second quarter, dominating the game to go up by as much as 15 points.
Indiana would respond in the second half, not only retaking the momentum but also establishing their own double-digit lead. They ended the third quarter with a 13-point advantage, which was their largest of the game.
However, the Pacers also allowed a comeback. By the midway point of the fourth quarter, their lead had vanished, and the Sixers outlasted the hostile crowd to win 114-109.
Tyrese Maxey scored 17 points in the fourth quarter and finished the game with 27 to lead the Sixers.
Joel Embiid finished with 21 points and 11 rebounds, while Jaylen Brown added 20 points and 10 boards. James would also register a double-double, logging 13 points and 10 assists.
The Pacers played without Tyrese Haliburton, who is a close friend of Clark. He was diagnosed with a mild strain to his left hamstring and is expected to miss at least two weeks.
