Pacers Beat Celtics, NBA Scores

Paul George has been on a solid run offensively. He takes more pride, though, in what he's giving his team defensively. George scored 26 points and grabbed 10 rebounds to lead the Indiana Pacers to 102-91 victory over the Boston Celtics on Wednesday night.

"It's how I made my name in this league, wanting to guard the best player or match up against the best player," George said. "That's what I do. It's fun to me. I don't take it as it's going to drain me or tire me out. It energizes me when I can get a stop on the best player. It gets me going when I can get a stop against the best guy on the other team."

George, who had averaged 31.7 points in the last three games, fell short of his third 30-point effort in four games. This is coming after he missed most of last season with a compound fracture of both bones in his lower right leg when he landed awkwardly while playing for the U.S. National team.
