Pacers Rally Against Thunder For Win

Last updated on Tuesday, February 7, 2017

(INDIANAPOLIS, IN) - The Pacers used a second-half comeback to rally past Russell Westbrook and the Oklahoma City Thunder 93-90 to extend their winning streak to seven games.

Paul George led Indiana with 21 points, eight rebounds to rally the Blue and Gold from an 11-point halftime deficit.

"I thought the first half they brought the physicality and it took us until the second half to adjust to it," George said.

Jeff Teague added 17 points while Glenn Robinson III came off the bench and scored 14.

The seven-game winning streak is the longest for the Pacers in nearly two years and they have held four straight opponents to under 100 points.

Russell Westbrook fell an assist short of a triple-double as he led all scorers with 27 points, 18 rebounds and nine assists.

Indiana faces its biggest test on Wednesday when they host LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers, who have won three straight games of their own.
