David West beast mode prevents embarrassing loss to Wiz

Found November 19, 2012 on Pacers Pulse:
PLAYERS: David West,  Roy Hibbert,  John Wall,  Paul George,  George Hill,  Gerald Green,  D.J. Augustin,  Ian Mahinmi,  Frank Vogel
TEAMS: Indiana Pacers,  New Orleans Pelicans
It should never have come down to it, but a win is a win, even if it was an ugly one against the winless Washington Wizards.The Indiana Pacers somehow managed to squander a 20-point lead in the third quarter before David West activated beast mode in the fourth, scoring 13 of his season-best 30 points, including 4 of the team's last 5 field goals (he assisted on the 5th one to Roy Hibbert), to give the Pacers a hard fought 96-89 road victory. For the game, West shot 10-14 from field, 10-10 from the line and had 8 rebounds, 3 assists and 4 blocks.The other encouraging news is that Roy Hibbert finally broke out of a season-long slump to pour in 20 points and 12 rebounds to go with 4 blocks despite battling foul trouble. It's not a spectacular performance but it's better than anything we've seen from Roy since signing that max contract.The truth is, while the Pacers will take any win they can get right now, this was still an awful performance. When your team needs to rel...

Remember when the Knicks and Pacers used to be a heated rivalry? Yeah, I missed those days too.Right now, however, the Knicks are in a different class. One team had only lost one game all season. The other was 4-6. They have Carmelo Anthony, and the closest thing the Pacers have (had) is Danny Granger, who remains out with a knee injury. So the result was not unexpected, although...
