THE FACTS: Ordinarily, a home victory over Cleveland would not produce a championship-style celebration at center court, with players jumping on top of each other, hugging and high-fiving. But this was no ordinary victory. Trailing by 20 points with less than nine minutes remaining, George Hill and Paul George sparked a furious rally, combining for 20 points in a 31-6 closing run that lifted Indian to a stunning 99-94 victory over Cleveland Tuesday at Bankers Life Fieldhouse. The comeback started shortly after head coach Frank Vogel picked up two technical fouls and was ejected late in the third quarter, an incident that seemed to bring a much-needed spark to what had been a moribund Indiana performance. Trailing 88-68 with 9:04 remaining, Indiana held Cleveland to 2-for-15 shooting and forced seven turnovers the rest of the way. Hill finished with 27 for Indiana (49-29), while Kyrie Irving scored a game-high 29 for Cleveland (24-53). …read more
