Pacers snap 11-match Spurs skid
Print Edition
Paul George scored 28 points to lead the Indiana Pacers to a 111-100 win over San Antonio on Saturday, ending an 11-game losing streak against the Spurs.
“It means a lot,” George said. “We haven’t won here since 2002. So it definitely means that we’re 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 couldn’t be happier with how they played, particularly in the second and third quarter,” Pacers coach Frank Vogel said.
Kawhi Leonard scored 18 points for host San Antonio, which has dropped three of five. Manu Ginobili added 16 points, Tony Parker had 13 and Tim Duncan finished with 10.
The Pacers’ last victory against the Spurs came in April 2007 in Indianapolis. Their last victory in San Antonio was nearly 12 years ago.
“We give a lot of credit to Indiana,” Parker said. “They just played better than us.”
