It wasn't enough that the Pacers delivered the Sixers another major loss in Philly's final home game. Indiana had to be featured not once, but twice in the NBA's top 10 plays of the night.
Tyler Hansbrough's volleyball-style spike of a Lou Williams shot came in at No. 4, and Dahntay Jones' put-back jam over seemingly the entire Sixers front court was one spot higher, in third.
The Pacers won 102-97 to improve to 40-22 overall, their sixth straight win and ninth in their last 10 games. Indiana is also now just one win from clinching the No. 3 seed in the East.
Philadelphia isn't in such good shape. The Sixers are now 31-30 after their third straight loss, just 1 1/2 games up on the Bucks for the No. 8 seed in the East. Plus, each of Philly's final five games are on the road, including a rematch against the Pacers on Saturday, and a showdown in Milwaukee against the Bucks next Wednesday.
Tim Duncan led the way in the countdown with his dunk on Josh McRoberts, part of the Spurs' 112-91 romp over the Lakers.
