Salt meet wound.

After losing to the Giannis Antetokounmpo-less Milwaukee Bucks , the Warriors fell 114-109 against the previously winless Indiana Pacers on Saturday night at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.

The Pacers weren’t only without Tyrese Haliburton, but also a plethora of others. They didn’t have Andrew Nembhard, Obi Toppin, Bennedict Mathurin and TJ McConnell. And it didn’t matter.

Pascal Siakam and Aaron Nesmith combined to score 58 points, and they were joined by Quenton Jackson, who is on a two-way contract, scoring 25 points with 10 assists.

Steph Curry scored an ugly team-high 24 points. Curry was a minus-19, and the Warriors were better with him on the bench.

Jimmy Butler did a bit of everything, scoring 20 points with six rebounds, seven assists, three steals and two blocks.
