Regular Season Round 52: Indiana P. - Houston R. 114-81

Date: December 20, 2013
The Indiana Pacers responded to Friday night’s challenge like a champion. After taking two big hits this week — losing at home and dropping back-to-back games for the first time all season — Indiana struck back by playing perhaps its most complete game of the season. Paul George finished with 24 points and nine rebounds, Lance Stephenson added 16 points and six assists, and the defense shut down the Houston Rockets in a 114-81 rout. “This team doesn’t like losing,” Pacers coach Frank Vogel said. “We talked about playing mad for four quarters.” The Pacers, who lost to Detroit and Miami earlier in the week, have the best record in the Eastern Conference (21-5) and already have defeated three of the West’s top teams — the Los Angeles Clippers, San Antonio Spurs and Houston. Rockets center Dwight Howard had 19 points, 12 rebounds and five blocks. Houston (17-10) entered the game second in scoring average and third in field-goal percentage, but the Pacers held it to 38.1 percent and a season low in points. “They played harder than we did,” Howard said. Indiana shot 53.1 percent. “It’s a good feeling because when we’re at our best, we feel like we’re unstoppable,” George said. Indiana fans gave former All-Star Danny Granger a standing ovation when he made his season debut in the first quarter and chanted his name when he finally made his first basket, a three-pointer, early in the fourth. Granger missed all but five games last season because of a left-knee injury and he was sidelined this season by a strained left calf. Courtesy of: seattletimes.com
