The Pacers (4 - 4) pulled away in the fourth quarter for a 97 - 84 win over the Magic (3 - 5) at Bankers Life Fieldhouse on Monday. In a back - and - forth contest, Indiana was able to outscore Orlando 25 - 14 in the final frame to draw even at .500 on the season. Paul George scored 19 of his 27 points in the first half and added seven assists and four rebounds in 36 minutes. The Magic had another tough time scoring down low with center Nikola Vucevic sidelined for the third straight game because of a knee injury. Jason Smith was also out with a knee injury of his own. With two important forwards on the skids, Orlando employed Channing Frye, who finished 4 - of - 9 from distance with 14 points and eight rebounds in 23 minutes. Evan Fournier has gotten back on track after struggling against Toronto last Friday, pouring in 21 points with four treys in 40 minutes. George has given Pacers' fans something to get excited about, looking better and better every game. He's averaging just over 30 points per game and has three double - double's over his last four contests. George Hill remained one of the hottest shooters in the NBA, scoring 23 points and hitting four from downtown to provide Indiana with plenty of secondary scoring behind George. Guard Rodney Stuckey briefly left the game due to an ankle injury, but was able to return finishing with just six points in 18 minutes. The Magic head home to take on the Lakers on Wednesday, while the Pacers will travel to Boston for a date with the Celtics.
