Regular Season Round 78: Indiana P. - Dallas M. 102-89

Date: January 12, 2011
The Indiana Pacers have struggled at times to find offense late in games. Rookie Paul George provided it when it was needed on Wednesday night. The 20-year-old forward scored a season-high 16 points for the Pacers in a 102-89 win over the Dallas Mavericks. He hit back-to-back 3-pointers to give Indiana an 83-71 lead with 10 minutes left, and the Pacers remained ahead by at least six points the rest of the way. "Other nights, I would have been hesitant to shoot the ball," he said. "Tonight, I just wanted to play with confidence. I know within myself, if I play with confidence, I'll start getting into a flow, and that's what happened tonight." Pacers coach Jim O'Brien began playing George recently to provide a spark, and it has worked. "He is shooting with confidence, and he's in and out defensively," he said. "But by and large, I thought he was very good defensively tonight. He can shoot it. He is going to be a terrific basketball player." The Pacers squandered a 15-point lead in the second half of their previous home game by shooting 1 for 15 in the fourth quarter of a loss to San Antonio. They shot 8 for 19 in the fourth against Dallas a night after winning at Philadelphia. The Pacers hadn't won consecutive games since Nov. 28 against the Los Angeles Lakers and Nov. 30 against Sacramento. *Courtesy of www.wishtv.com
