SAN FRANCISCO -- The Indiana Pacers improved their league-best record to 17-2 Wednesday night by coming from behind to beat the Utah Jazz, 95-86, at the Energy Solutions Arena.
Six Indy players scored in double figures with Paul George leading the way with 19. Lance Stephenson added 15 while Luis Scola contributed 14 and six boards. Center Roy Hibbert tallied 13 and nine boards while David West and George Hill finished with 10 points apiece.
The victory was the Pacers' first in Utah since 2005, snapping a five-game slide in the Jazz's home court. And they did it the hard way, wiping out an 11-point first half deficit.
"Games aren't always going to go your way. But when you can play an imperfect game and still grin it out and get a 'W' it's a good thing," Pacers head coach Frank Vogel told NBA.com.
The Jazz, who fell to 4-16 for the season, got 22 points and 13 rebounds from Derrick Favors. Enes Kanter had an equally impressive 20 points and 10 boards while rookie Trey Burke flourished with 13 and nine assists. (JSM)
