Sunday's game between the Orlando Magic and the Indiana Pacers made the record books as the game with the fewest total free throws in NBA history.
The Pacers and the Magic combined for a total of 11 free throw attempts, overtaking the record set by Lakers and the Clippers in 1980.
The 11 combined free throw attempts by both teams during tonight’s game (Orlando, 6; Indiana, 5) are the fewest in @NBAHistory.

For the Pacers, Domantas Sabonis went 3-of-4 from the free-throw line while Doug McDermott went 1-of-1. For the Magic, Evan Fournier went 2-of-2, Aaron Gordon went 1-of-1, and Michael Carter-Williams went 2-of-3.
In terms of fouls, Indiana committed 13 personal fouls while Orlando had 10. In the end, it was Indiana that prevailed, 109-102.
The Pacers have improved to 6-4. They are expected to turn it up one more notch this season. After all, the team has remained intact over the last few years and it's safe to say that they have gelled together very well.
The Magic, meanwhile, have fallen to 3-7 — a pretty mediocre start for a team which sneaked into the postseason last year as the eighth spot. Orlando qualifying into the playoffs means that they have the fundamental tools to win. But so far in the young season, they don't seem to be utilizing these tools to their full potential.
