Regular Season Round 56: Indiana P. - N.Orleans H. 94-93

Date: December 20, 2010
Mike Dunleavy knew the New Orleans Hornets didn't want Danny Granger to beat them, so he took care of it himself. Dunleavy's tip-in of Granger's miss at the buzzer gave the Indiana Pacers a 94-93 victory on Monday night. ``I could see Chris Paul going to help out on Danny, so I just took off to the basket,' Dunleavy said. ``Luckily, the ball ended up in a perfect position for me to tip it in.' The Hornets had taken the lead on a jumper by David West with 3.9 seconds left. Granger's 21-footer rattled and rolled around the rim, and Dunleavy was uncontested for the rebound under the hoop. The officials reviewed the play and the basket stood. Granger drew the extra attention because he led the Pacers with 27 points. Darren Collison scored 18 points and James Posey added 15 in their first game against the team that traded them in the offseason. Collison acknowledged that playing New Orleans gave him personal incentive, but winning was his main focus. ``That's all we need to do is to get the victory,' he said. ``We know how tough the playoff race is ahead of us. It's a long season. In order for us to stay on top of our game, we need to start winning some games down the stretch.' Posey made 5-of-7 3-pointers, with several coming in clutch situations that changed momentum. ``That is James Posey,' Collison said, with emphasis on the name. ``That's all I've got to say.' Posey's outburst came in 19 minutes. ``I just try to stay ready whenever coach calls and try to take advantage of those situations, and I was able to get some good looks,' he said. Dunleavy scored just eight points on 3-for-11 shooting. Emeka Okafor had 19 points and 15 rebounds for the Hornets, who lost their sixth straight road game. West scored 18 points and Paul added 15. *Courtesy of www.comcast.net
