Indiana collected a 102-91 victory over Boston, playing stout defensively in the fourth quarter. Paul George led the Pacers with 26.
Cautiously, but interestingly enough, the Indiana Pacers appear to be on a "roll." Having now won five of their last six after their 0-3 start, they seem to have found a key to success in their defensive play, forcing six turnovers over a six minute stretch, holding the Boston Celtics to two points in that period as Indiana pulled away from the Celtics late for the 100-89 win. Indiana held Boston to just 17 fourth quarter points, their lowest output of the night.
