INDIANAPOLIS -- Rust, what rust? Not even a five-day layoff could stop the Indiana Pacers from continuing to play well. The Pacers picked up their seventh win the past eight games when they beat the Phoenix Suns 97-91 at Bankers Life Fieldhouse on Friday. "Defense carried us in this one," Pacers point guard George Hill said. "We knew they were a good offensive team but it came down to getting stops at the end and we did." Point guard George Hill scored 22 points for the Pacers. Paul George added 15 points despite only being 4 of 12 from the field. Point guard Sebastian Telfair scored 19 points for Phoenix, which has lost four straight games. The Pacers had to hold off the Suns to avoid officially collapsing.

Not much to say. Pacers were killing the Suns early, racing out to a 14-point lead at the half. Then they fell asleep and the Suns came roaring back. But Pacers eventually hold on for a 97-91 victory.
Again, lots of problems but enough to get it done against a lottery team. That's 4 in a row and 17-12 for the season.

You could tell from the way the Pacers have been playing that they needed a bit of a wake up call. They've been getting it done against poor teams, but just barely.
Against a team like the Atlanta Hawks, missing Josh Smith or not, the Pacers were going to be in for a rough night. And I was right. The Pacers got within 3 in the fourth quarter but it felt like the Hawks were...
