Channing
Frye Cavaliers Jersey . They know how difficult it is to beat the San
Antonio Spurs. George scored 28 points and Indiana defeated San Antonio 111-100
on Saturday night, snapping an 11-game skid against the Spurs. "It means a lot,"
George said. "We havent won here since 2002. So it definitely means that were
onto something. Something great is going on in here, if we just continue to keep
on this path, we have a positive future." David West had 20 points and
Lance Stephenson scored 15 for the Pacers, who enjoyed a 41-34 rebounding edge.
Roy Hibbert and Luis Scola each had 12 points and 10 boards. "I couldnt be
happier with how they played, particularly in the second and third quarter,"
Pacers coach Frank Vogel said. "Second quarter, getting back in the game, but in
the third quarter, really busting it open. Tough to pick a star in the game with
as many contributions as we got. Just great balance and a great team win."
Kawhi Leonard scored 18 points for San Antonio, which has dropped three of five.
Manu Ginobili added 16 points, Tony Parker had 13 and Tim Duncan finished with
10. Indiana had lost 12 straight in San Antonio and appeared headed for a bakers
dozen early on. Ginobilis 3-pointer with 9:46 remaining in the first half gave
the Spurs a 35-22 lead. It was their largest lead, but also the start of the
teams fall as the Pacers starting five overwhelmed their counterparts. "We give
a lot of credit to Indiana," Parker said. "They just played better than us."
Indiana closed the first half on a 30-18 run and opened the second half with a
12-2 spree. "We had a good first quarter," Duncan said. "Second quarter they
started making some shots and we werent able to keep up. We went cold, they
heated up and got a little lead there. We just couldnt recover." Georges 3 gave
the Pacers an 85-62 lead with 46.3 seconds left in the third. He was 4 for 4
from long range and also had six assists. George had nine points in the third
quarter, and the teams starters had all but two of Indianas points in a 35-17
period. "We knew it was a long game," George said. "This is one team that never
thinks were out of a game, no matter what the circumstances are. But we knew
that we had to get stops and we had to match their energy." San Antonio held a
23-8 edge in second-chance points and a 34-26 advantage in points in the paint,
but Indiana attempted 22 more free throws. The Pacers went 26 for 28 at the
line, compared to 5 for 6 for the Spurs. "If you lose, you were less aggressive,
and you didnt have the effort; thats all baloney," San Antonio coach Gregg
Popovich said. "Thats psycho-babble. You dont think Patty Mills and those guys
played hard? You dont think Timmy tried to play hard? Thats silly. They played
better than we did. Its got nothing to do with effort." NOTES: The Pacers last
victory against the Spurs was 100-99 on April 1, 2007, in Indianapolis. Their
last victory in San Antonio was 92-82 on Jan. 4, 2002. ... Spurs C

questionable to play due to the calf injury, but got the start anyway. He
finished with two points and two rebounds in eight minutes. ... San Antonio had
not played since a 102-100 victory over Atlanta. Wednesdays game against
Minnesota in Mexico City was postponed due to an electrical fire. ... Before a
