Theis, who had to have an operation on his knee after the European Championship last year, did not get any points. It was the fourth loss in a row for the Pacers.
Schröder contributed twelve points and six rebounds in a row in the second Lakers win. Meanwhile, superstar LeBron James is still chasing records. The 38-year-old has 26 points, just 63 points behind the legendary Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (38,387), who leads the all-time points list.
