On October 27, the new NBA regular season continues. In today's focus game, the Pacers lost to the Timberwolves 110-114 away from home. They suffered a three-game losing streak at the beginning of the new season and are currently tied for last in the league!

The Pacers once had the advantage in the first half and entered the second half with a two-point lead. However, in the third quarter, the Pacers were in trouble offensively. The team only scored 17 points in a single quarter, and was overtaken by the Timberwolves in one fell swoop and established a double-digit gap. In the final quarter of the game, the Pacers were suppressed by the Timberwolves every time they launched an offensive, and eventually suffered a disastrous defeat on the road.

Siakam scored a team-high 33 points, 10 rebounds and 8 assists, Nesmith scored 18 points and 6 rebounds, Dennis, who came off the bench, scored 12 points, and Bradley scored 12 points and 5 rebounds. Aside from the four of them, the Pacers had almost no bright spots. Even though the Timberwolves' star Edwards was injured and left the field early, the Pacers failed to win.

As the overall runner-up last season, the Pacers are in a very difficult situation this season. The team's star Haliburton suffered a ruptured Achilles tendon in the tiebreaker of last season's finals, which caused the team to lose its competitiveness. Just in today's game, the Pacers also suffered a blow. Toppin suffered from soreness in his right leg and exited the game after playing only 16 minutes.

According to statistics, Toppin became the eighth player missing from the Pacers. The other seven players are: Mathurin, Pitt, Furfe, Nembhard, Cam Jones, McConnell, and Haliburton.

After today's loss, the Pacers' record became 0 wins and 3 losses, temporarily ranking at the bottom of the league. Coincidentally, the Celtics team of Tatum, who also suffered a ruptured Achilles tendon like Haliburton, is also in a bad situation. Their record is also 0 wins and 3 losses.

According to the schedule, the Pacers will challenge the Mavericks away from home on October 30. Can they get their first win of the new season? Let’s wait and see!
