The Indiana Pacers (35 - 43) defeated the New York Knicks (15 - 63) 102 - 86 on Wednesday at Madison Square Garden in New York. The Pacers picked up a very big win in this one, as they're in a fight for the eighth and final projected playoff seed in the Eastern Conference. The Nets remain in that eighth spot and own just a one game lead over the Pacers, so they'll need to come out victorious in the majority of their final four games of the regular season if they want to play in the postseason. Despite turning the ball over 17 times compared to just 11 from the Knicks, the Pacers made up for it with their rebounding, as they posted a 54 - 34 advantage. As he's done for the majority of the time that he's been healthy, George Hill was the player that led this team to the win. He went 7 - for - 11 from the field and 1 - for - 2 from the three - point line to score a game - high of 20 points, while also adding six rebounds and five assists. Hill was away from the team Tuesday for personal reasons, but he was able to come back for this one and pick up where he left off with another strong performance. Roy Hibbert notched a double - double in the win, finishing with 11 points (5 - 9 FG, 1 - 2 FT) and 11 rebounds over just 16 minutes. It was his first double - double over his last seven games, as the big man was able to have a bunch of success against a struggling Knicks' team. Both CJ Miles and David West finished in double figures as well in their run with the starters. West went a perfect 5 - of - 5 from the field to score 11 points, while Miles added 13 points (5 - 14 FG, 1 - 5 3Pt, 2 - 2 FT) and four rebounds as well. Langston Galloway and Andrea Bargnani were the few Knicks' players to have some success Wednesday. Galloway finished with 19 points (6 - 14 FG, 1 - 2 3Pt, 6 - 6 FT) and five rebounds, while Bargnani chipped in with 15 points (5 - 11 FG, 2 - 2 3Pt, 3 - 3 FT) and six rebounds. Galloway has shot under 40 percent from the field in five of his last six games prior to Wednesday, so he'll likely look to try and establish more consistency in the final few games of the 2015 regular season. Bargnani has put in a couple of solid games in a row, combining for 40 points and 14 rebounds over his last two matchups. He's now averaging 15 points and 4 rebounds on the season. Tim Hardaway JR, Quincy Acy and Jason Smith all added 12 points of their own off the bench. The Pacers' next game will be on the road against the Detroit Pistons on Friday, while the Knicks will be at home against the Milwaukee Bucks on Friday.
