The Indiana Pacers (5 - 7) knocked off the Charlotte Hornets (4 - 8) 88 - 86 at the buzzer on Wednesday night at the Bankers Life Fieldhouse. The Hornets saw injuries hit their lineup, as they were without both Michael Kidd-Gilchrist and Gary Neal. Gerald Henderson got the start, but had a brutal night, going 0 - 6 from the field with zero points. The lone bright spots on Wednesday for the Hornets had to be Al Jefferson, who scored 28 points (12 - 22 FG, 4 - 4 FT), to go along with eight rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block, as well as Lance Stephenson, who scored 10 points (4 - 12 FG, 0 - 2 3Pt, 2 - 4 FT), but also grabbed eight rebounds and dished out seven assists. Charlotte heads home to take on the Orlando Magic on Friday night next. The Pacers got an impressive buzzer - beating reverse lay - up from Solomon Hill off of an air ball to grab this win on Wednesday. Hill managed just six total points (3 - 8 FG, 0 - 2 3Pt) and five rebounds, just a few nights after posting 21 points and 12 rebounds in a win over the Chicago Bulls. Roy Hibbert led the charge for the Pacers, scoring 18 points (7 - 14 FG, 4 - 6 FT), along with 11 rebounds, two assists and one block, while Donald Sloan posted a nice stat line that included 11 points (3 - 8 FG, 0 - 2 3Pt, 5 - 6 FT), nine rebounds, six assists and one steal. The Pacers are off until Saturday, when the Phoenix Suns head to town.
