Notebook: Pacers 107, Hawks 90

Leave a comment

THE FACTS: When a guy goes 3-for-13 from the field and dominates a game, you know the outcome was about more than shot-making, and that clearly as the case in Indiana’s 107-90 Game 1 victory over Atlanta Sunday at Bankers Life Fieldhouse. Though the aforementioned Paul George had his first career playoff triple-double with 23 points, 12 assists and 11 rebounds, he spearheaded a remarkably aggressive and energetic performance by the Pacers. Constantly on the attack, he tied a franchise playoff record with 17 free throws made. Indiana outscored the Hawks 30-7 from the line, outrebounded the Hawks 48-32 and had a 19-7 advantage in second-chance points. George Hill scored 18 and Roy Hibbert 16 for the Pacers. Jeff Teague led Atlanta with 21.

Notebook: Pacers 107, Timberwolves 91

Leave a comment

THE FACTS: While the Indiana Pacers continue to wait on Danny Granger, they are welcoming the return of Roy Hibbert. The 7-foot-2 center continued his recent surge with a season-high 27 points on 10-for-15 shooting, adding 12 rebounds and four blocked shots as the Pacers rolled past a seriously short-handed Minnesota team 107-91 Wednesday at Bankers Life Fieldhouse. It was the ninth consecutive game in double figures for Hibbert, a former All-Star who struggled mightily with his shot throughout the first half of the season. Paul George battled foul trouble but scored 17 for Indiana (40-24), while George Hill added 16 with six assists. Coming off his first career triple-double in a victory over San Antonio Tuesday night, Ricky Rubio fell four rebounds shy of another, finishing with 21 points, 10 assists and six boards to lead Minnesota (22-40), which dropped its sixth in a row on the road. …read more

Notebook: Pacers 108, Warriors 97

Leave a comment

THE FACTS: That Indiana won its fifth consecutive game, all by double figures, was almost lost in the aftermath of a fourth-quarter shoving match that spilled into the front row of spectators at Bankers Life Fieldhouse, resulting in six technical fouls, the ejection of Pacers center Roy Hibbert and possible suspensions coming from the league. With David West scoring 28, George Hill 23 and Paul George 21, the Pacers weathered a 38-point storm from Stephen Curry and wore down the visiting Golden State Warriors 108-97 Tuesday. Indiana led 95-85 with 6:10 remaining when Hibbert responded to a hard push from Lee with a two-handed shove, sparking a scrum that started under the basket and migrated to the edge of the court before officials and cooler heads prevailed. In addition to Hibbert’s ejection, Lee, West, Curry and Klay Thompson picked up technical fouls. There appeared to be no punches thrown but several players, including Curry, were knocked to the floor. West scored six in a row as the Pacers pushed the lead to 104-87 to put the game away. …read more

Notebook: Pacers 98, Pistons 79

Leave a comment

THE FACTS: On a night when the Pistons severed their final tie with the recent past, they were reminded of the reality of the present. Tayshaun Prince, the final member of the 2004 championship team, along with youngster Austin Daye, are headed to Memphis in a three-team trade that will bring point guard Jose Calderon to Detroit. Without any of that crew, the Indiana Pacers reminded the Pistons of their 2013 reality with a 98-79 win Wednesday at Bankers Life Fieldhouse. It was the fourth loss in five games for the Pistons (17-29), who dropped to 5-17 on the road. The Pacers (27-19) snapped a three-game losing streak by winning their 12th in a row at home, where they will play 12 of their next 15 games. Indiana got double-doubles from three players: Roy Hibbert (18 points, 11 rebounds), Tyler Hansbrough (14 points, 11 rebounds) and Lance Stephenson (12 points, 11 rebounds). Greg Monroe led the Pistons (17-29) with 18 points.

Notebook: Pacers 81, Knicks 76

Leave a comment

THE FACTS: The Indiana Pacers are making a compelling case for becoming the NBA‘s best defensive team. Two days after limiting the defending champion Heat to a season-low 77 points in a 10-point victory, the Pacers held the next-best team in the Eastern Conference to a season-low 76 points in a five-point win over the New York Knicks Thursday at Bankers Life Fieldhouse. Paul George took care of business at both ends, as usual, leading the Pacers with 24 points, adding 11 rebounds, a career-high six steals and five assists. Ian Mahinmi came off the bench to replace an ailing Roy Hibbert down the stretch and scored 11 of his 13 points in a 21-4 fourth-quarter run that blew open the game. Indiana (22-14) won its ninth straight at home, the team’s longest streak since 2002-03. The Knicks played without suspended star Carmelo Anthony and his absence was felt mightily. J.R. Smith scored a game-high 25 points but shot 10 of 29 from the field. Tyson Chandler had 12 points and 15 rebounds for the Knicks (23-12), who have lost seven of 12.
