Pacers hold on for win against Timberwolves late despite blowing 27-point lead

Paul George had 29 and Monta Ellis had 24, proving just enough for Indiana to weather a late game push from Minnesota to win 107-103.

The Indiana Pacers were in cruise control with four minutes remaining in the third. Monta Ellis hit a shot to put Indiana in commanding control against the Minnesota Timberwolves up 87-60. But a pair of layups from the Wolves led Frank Vogel to call a timeout. He recognized that with 16 minutes remaining, the game was far from being over.

From that point, Vogel would've been right to recognize the sea change.
