Pacers Rally Past Clippers, NBA Roundup

By ESPN

Paul George and C.J. Miles returned to help the Indiana Pacers rally past the Los Angeles Clippers with just their second road win of the season.

Thaddeus Young scored 17 points and George added 16 after missing four of the last five games in the Pacers' 111-102 victory on Sunday night that gave them a sweep of the season series for the first time since 2013-14.

Indiana came back from 15 points down in the first quarter and held on after the Clippers got within four in the fourth.

"It was great to have everybody out there contributing. Everybody played a big part in this win," George said. "That's got to be us. We can't put the pressure on one guy. We need this to be a collective effort every night."

Rodney Stuckey also had 16 points and Jeff Teague added 15 points for the Pacers. Miles had 12 points after missing six games with a sore left knee.

Blake Griffin had 24 points and 16 rebounds for the Clippers, whose two-game winning streak was snapped in their return to Staples Center. They went 3-3 on their recent six-game road trip, including a 91-70 loss at Indiana last week.

Los Angeles led by 15 in the first quarter and appeared on its way to victory, especially when the Pacers missed 15 of 22 shots.

"We didn't get off to a good start. The good thing about that was that we stayed with it," Indiana coach Nate McMillan said. "We started to get stops. We started to make baskets, and we worked our way back into the game, kind of grinded it out."

Indiana regrouped and eventually led by 20 in the fourth quarter.

That's when the Clippers staged a furious rally, outscoring Indiana 22-9 to close to 98-93.

DeAndre Jordan had a putback dunk off J.J. Redick's missed 3-pointer, but he missed the free throw to leave the Clippers down 104-100.

Los Angeles has lost four of six.
