The Indiana Pacers defeated the Utah Jazz 107 - 100 Monday at Bankers Life Fieldhouse. Paul George struggled for most of Monday's contest, but when the Pacers (36 - 34) needed him the most, the All-Star came though. With just 20 seconds remaining in the contest and his team up three, George let the clock wind down before pulling up from just behind the foul line. The jumper was good, and George's shot gave the Pacers their fifth straight home victory. George finished with 19 points on a poor 6 - of - 20 shooting from the field, but that sixth made field goal was all Indiana needed. Jeff Teague ended up leading the way offensive for the team, scoring a team - high 21 points to go along with 5 rebounds and five assists. As for the Jazz (43 - 28), they got a heroic performance from their own All-Star, Gordon Hayward, as he put up a career - high 38 points on 16 - of - 24 shooting from the field, but in the end, it just was n't enough. That was thanks in large part to the lack of depth Utah showed Monday night, as the seven reserves that saw for the floor for the Jazz combined to score just 17 points while four of the five starters scored in double figures. The Jazz have now lost three straight games to end their road trip out east, but they still sit 2 games ahead of the Clippers for the No. 4 seed. Up next, the Pacers will head to Boston on Wednesday to take on the Celtics, while the Jazz will head home Wednesday to take on the Knicks.
