After Indiana trailed by as many as 11 points in the fourth quarter, Jackson's 3-pointer with 1:09 left gave the Pacers a 109-107 lead. Butler dunked to tie the score at 109-all, but he failed to convert a three-point play.
Siakam hit a 3-pointer that put the Pacers ahead 112-109 with 37 seconds left. After a Kuminga missed, Jackson hit a pull-up jumper with 5.2 seconds left that extended the lead to 114-109.

The Pacers led by as many as six points in the third quarter before the Warriors rallied for a 88-82 advantage heading into the fourth. Brandi Podziemski scored 10 of his 16 points in the third quarter for Golden State.
Indiana had been hard hit by injuries. Two-time All-Star Tyrese Haiiburton is expected to miss the entire season after tearing his Achilles tendon in Game 7 of the NBA Finals. On Friday, the Pacers announced that Obi Toppin will miss at least three months with a stress fracture in his right foot that requires surgery. Also sidelined for the Pacers are starters Bennedict Mathurin (foot) and Andrew Nembhard (left shoulder strain), along with key reserve player T.J. McConnell (left hamstring strain).
Pacers: Host the Milwaukee Bucks on Monday.
