Regular Season Round 4: Toronto R. - Indiana P. 85-90

Date: December 28, 2011
The Indiana Pacers learned plenty about what it takes to win close games during last season’s playoff loss to Chicago. Now, with David West on their side, they’ve got another option for those late-game situations. Danny Granger scored nine of his 21 points in the fourth quarter and the Pacers held on to beat the Raptors 90-85 on Wednesday night, spoiling Toronto’s home opener. Granger hit a key 3-pointer with 1:14 left and West followed with a fadeaway jumper to help stave off a Toronto rally. “We have so many weapons down the stretch,” Granger said. “We have so many options. I think it’s going to be the mark of us being a good team. Toronto coach Dwane Casey said his defense didn’t react quickly enough on either shot. “Those two plays, with kind of hesitant rotation, really broke our back,” Casey said. West, who scored 14 points, enjoys getting the ball with the game on the line. “If there’s a play to be made, I’m just not going to back down from it,” West said. “That’s a situation I want to thrive in.” Paul George scored 18 points, and Roy Hibbert had 12 points and 10 rebounds as the Pacers improved to 2-0. Darren Collison became the fifth Pacers starter to reach double figures by making a pair of free throws with 2.5 seconds left. He finished with 10 points and 12 assists. *Courtesy of www.washingtonpost.com
