INDIANAPOLIS -- Even though they shot well in the first
half, the Indiana Pacers knew that wasnt what would win
them the game. Turning up their defence in the third
quarter was what it took to pull away from the Brooklyn
Nets. Paul George scored 24 points and Lance Stephenson
added 23 to lead the Pacers to a 105-91 victory over on
Saturday night. George Hill finished with 21 points for
the Pacers, who put five players in double figures and
pulled away with a third-quarter burst. "This team has a
unique way of figuring a team out as the game goes on,"
coach Frank Vogel said. "We only forced four turnovers in
the first half, so we did feel they were a little too
comfortable on the defensive end." Roy Hibbert scored 11
and David West 10 for Indiana, which leads the Eastern
Conference at 23-6. Stephenson also had nine rebounds and
seven assists. "We felt like weve got to be aggressive,
and come out with more energy," George said. "We were
allowing guys to beat us on 1-on-1 plays. If we are going
to get beat, its going to have to be by contested shots
and the ball being swung." Paul Pierce scored 18 points,
Mirza Teletovic 17, Deron Williams 14 and Alan Anderson
10 for the Nets, who fell to 10-20. "They took control of
the third quarter with our turnovers, and those turnovers
converting into layups," Nets coach Jason Kidd said.
"George was knocking down jump shots, 3s. He had a four-
point play. "But those guys, we didnt make them
uncomfortable on the perimeter." Indiana, leading by
three points at the start of the third quarter, went on
an 11-3 run as the Nets turned the ball over on four
straight possessions. That pushed the Pacers lead to 72-
61 with 8:07 to go in the period, and they maintained
their edge throughout. "We had to let the game come to us
in the third quarter and play aggressive defence,"
Stephenson said. George hit a 16-foot, pull-up jumper to
give the Pacers their biggest lead, 105-89, with 2:15 to
play. The Pacers shot 53.5 per cent in beating the Nets
for the third time this season. They outscored the Nets
14-2 in the paint in the decisive third quarter and 20-6
in the second half. Vogel credited Hill with much of his
teams success, saying, "I thought George Hill was our
best player tonight. He played exceptional defence on
Deron Williams, and every time we needed a big basket or
timely play, he made it." The Nets continue their
difficult three-game road trip with games in San Antonio
and Oklahoma City. The first half was close throughout,
with eight lead changes and five ties. Indiana shot 54
per cent before halftime and the Nets made 50 per cent.
NOTES: With three 3-pointers, George moved past Austin
Croshere into seventh place in franchise history and
sixth in NBA history with a total of 378 in his career. .
The Nets have been outscored 86-60 in the third quarter
of their three games with the Pacers this season. . The
Pacers allowed just five offensive rebounds, tying their
season low. hanifin-hockey-jersey/">Noah Hanifin Jersey .Y. --

could very well be a decent team over the next few

earlier this year since they are part of the non-playoff
