Monday's matchup between the Indiana Pacers and the New Orleans Pelicans proved to be quite a nail-biter. In the end, however, it was the Pacers who emerged with the victory, thanks to a last-second game-winning jumper by Malcolm Brogdon in overtime.

The Pacers set up the play for Brogdon to go one-on-one against Eric Bledsoe, who himself is one of the Pelicans' best defenders. Brogdon relished the challenge, as he put on a couple of crossover moves before draining a running jump shot down the lane. It was an outstanding finish that was worthy of winning any game.
Brogdon had another tremendous showing for the Pacers in this one, finishing with 21 points on 8-of-18 shooting, to go along with four triples, seven rebounds, 11 assists, three steals, a block, and zero turnovers in 46 minutes of play.
Brogdon and the Pacers spoiled Brandon Ingram's huge night, as the Pelicans star logged a game-high 31 points, four rebounds, and eight assists.
Indiana, who continues to be without the injured T.J. Warren, improves to 5-2 with the win over New Orleans. The Pacers get a day off before returning to action on Wednesday to take on James Harden and the Houston Rockets.
