Pacers tie series with Hawks
Print Edition
PAUL George and David West hit key 3-pointers at the end as the top-seeded Indiana Pacers held off the Atlanta Hawks 91-88 to even the NBA opening-round series at 2-2.
Elsewhere on Saturday, Miami moved to a 3-0 series lead by defeating the Charlotte Bobcats 98-85, Vince Carter hit a three pointer after the buzzer to down Western Conference top seeds San Antonio 109-108 and Oklahoma City Thunder beat the Memphis Grizzlies 92-89 in overtime.
In a game they had to have, the Pacers finally showed some grit and regained the home-court edge. George put the Pacers ahead 86-85 with a jumper beyond the arc, and West hit another trey with 1:33 remaining.
Atlanta had a chance after Kyle Korver was fouled in the corner and knocked down three free throws, taking advantage of a do-over after the Pacers were called for a lane violation on the third attempt. But George pulled down an offensive rebound to set up George Hill’s driving shot with 56 seconds left.
In Dallas, Carter hit a double-pump 3-pointer at the buzzer to give the Dallas Mavericks a 109-108 victory in Game 3 and a first-round series lead over the top-seeded San Antonio Spurs. Carter took an inbound pass from Jose Calderon with 1.7 seconds left in the left corner. After a quick pump fake in front of Manu Ginobili, Carter released the ball just before the buzzer. The winning shot was held up on review.
In Charlotte, North Carolina, LeBron James had 30 points and 10 rebounds, as the Miami Heat took an iron grip of its Eastern Conference first round series against the Charlotte Bobcats.
Dwyane Wade added 17 points for the Heat, who can close out the best-of-seven tonight.
