INDIANAPOLIS (AP) Paul George savored every moment of his postgame stroll to the locker room.
He scored 13 points in 15 minutes and made two key 3-pointers early in the fourth quarter, helping Indiana rout Miami 112-89 as the Pacers moved to within one game of the final playoff spot. It was almost perfect.
George’s return provided a needed boost for Indiana (34-43), which had seen its playoff hopes take a mighty tumble over the past three weeks. On March 12, the Pacers were closing in on Milwaukee for the No. 6 spot.
Now the Pacers and Heat (34-43), the two Eastern Conference finalists in 2013 and 2014, are tied at No. 9 behind Boston (35-42) and Brooklyn (35-41), which currently hold the final two playoff seeds.
