Indiana escaped a furious fourth quarter rally from Minnesota, sealing their third straight win behind 29 from Paul George and 24 from Monta Ellis.
The Indiana Pacers tried their best, but fell short in completely giving away their 27-point third quarter lead, defeating the Minnesota Timberwolves late, coming up with just enough plays after Minnesota drew all the way to within a single point with just over a minute to play. But a big drive by Monta Ellis followed by a block helped guide the Pacers towards the victory, their third straight.
