The Indiana Pacers set a new franchise record with their 13th straight loss Tuesday, falling to the Cleveland Cavaliers 120-116. The Pacers led by as many as 9 points early on, but they couldn’t overcome the Cavaliers’ size, as illustrated by Cleveland’s outscoring Indiana 64-42 on points in the paint. Center Jay Huff scored a season-high 20 points and made 4 of 7 3-point attempts, but All-Star forward Pascal Siakam had a rough night offensively (9-of-23 shooting).

Tony East: Aaron Nesmith off on a logo 3 and the Pacers lose their 10th game in a row. Final: Magic 112, Pacers 110. Pacers scored just 15 points in the fourth quarter as their offense fell apart — they couldn't make a thing. 26 points for Siakam and 23 for Mathurin. Pacers 6-28.
