That’s one way to close the halftime. The Philadelphia 76ers played the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday night as VJ Edgecombe gave the Sixers a highlight to remember.
The young shooting guard drained a remarkable shot from beyond the half-court logo just before halftime against the Indiana Pacers. Edgecombe’s deep three-pointer sent Philadelphia into the break with a 62-52 lead.
Edgecombe showed little hesitation as he launched the ball from well beyond the arc. The play provided a major highlight in a first half in which the 76ers built a 10-point advantage. Indiana struggled to find its rhythm, shooting just 39% from the field before the break.
However, the Pacers responded immediately after halftime. Indiana opened the third quarter with 17 unanswered points to take a 69-62 lead, turning a double-digit deficit into a seven-point advantage.
