Paul George Leads Pacers Past Celtics

Last updated on Wednesday, March 16, 2016

(INDIANAPOLIS, IN) - Paul George scored 25 points and led the Pacers past the Boston Celtics 103-98.

George added seven rebounds, four assists and four steals while Monta Ellis dropped 16 points.

With the game tied at 77 with 7 minutes left in the fourth quarter Indiana orchestrated a 15-4 run to give them enough cushion to outlast a Boston rally.

The Blue & Gold shot over 46 percent from the field, held Boston to 38 percent and clinched the season series, taking three out of four games.

The Pacers have 15 games remaining with 10 at home, something Paul George believes makes anything possible.

"I see a lot of potential for this team to go forward with momentum. With 15 games left, nothing is set in stone, we're still right there."

It was a good start for Indiana's five-game home stand but the schedule gets no easier as the Pacers host the No. 2 seed in the East, the Toronto Raptors, on Thursday.
