It looked like the Toronto Raptors were going to collapse in the first round of the playoffs, but the Indiana Pacers came up short in pulling off the upset.
The Raptors won 89-84, surviving the Pacers 15-2 run in the fourth quarter.
Paul George scored 26 points to lead the Pacers, followed by George Hill with 19 and Monta Ellis with 15.
Now less than 24 hours after the Pacers had pressed the No. 2 seed Raptors to the brink, things have gotten strange in Indiana as Frank Vogel’s status as head coach is now in question.
