Pacers final score: Pacers close strong against Celtics 102-97
Paul George had 25 and Evan Turner had 17 as Indiana comes from behind to beat Boston late.

Pacers Links: Paul George, Pacers defense delivers to help Evan Turner's positive debut
The Pacers turned up the defensive effort in the third quarter to put away the Lakers at Bankers Life Fieldhouse. All eyes were on Evan Turner and how he would fit in with the Indiana Pacers. The outcome seemed secondary due to the current state of the Los Angeles Lakers. But after leading by just three points at the half, Paul George set the tone for a defensive attack in the third quarter to help the starting unit overwhelm the overmatched Lakers and then really give Turner a comfortable environment to go to work. The Pacers shot over 58 percent and outscored the Lakers 34-16 in the third...

Pacers final score: Pacers hold off Bucks 110-100
Paul George had 32 and David West had 30 to lead the Pacers to a road victory in Milwaukee. Lance Stephenson had 24 while Milwaukee's Brandon Knight had 30. With the game at 44-22 halfway through the second quarter, the Indiana Pacers appeared well in control against the Milwaukee Bucks. But Brandon Knight had other ideas, running off nine as part of a Bucks 13-2 run to slice the lead in half. Paul George would sink in a big bucket at the end of the half, but a Roy Hibbert foul set up Zaza Pachulia at the free throw line to start another 13-2 run that cut the Indiana lead to 53-49 at the...

East wins Dunk Contest, Paul George goes between the legs on a 360
Paul George and the Eastern Conference swept away the Western Conference in the restructured Dunk Contest.

John Wall was voted the Slam Dunker of the night, as he sealed the victory with this dunk on his first...

NBA All-Star game: Players say fans will love new dunk-contest format
New Orleans • For Indiana Pacers forward Paul George, the pinnacle of an event that rewards those who get highest came in 2000. That’s when Vince Carter took the Slam Dunk Contest by storm, flushing a reverse windmill 360, an alleyoop that he took through his legs, and a jam that left him dangling from the rim by his elbow. “He was doing dunks we’d never seen before,” George said. On Saturday night, George and five other players will be part of another dunk contest first. Players will no longer ...

Brian Shaw recalls Paul George taking his game to the next level
Early last season, Paul George took on a bigger role for the Pacers and along the way figured out how to lift his level of play to an All-Star level with a little help from former bench coach, Brian Shaw. It didn't seem like a memorable moment at the time. Last season in Oklahoma City, Serge Ibaka stoned Paul George's dunk attempt at the rim which appeared to be a cringe-worthy moment in PG's young career. Certainly something he would rather forget the instant it happened, right? "I remember that play," Paul George said following the Pacers win over Denver on Monday, roughly 14 months...
