Late surge enables Indiana to square season record at 4-4.
In simple numbers, 19 plus 19 equaled 1,000 for the Indiana Pacers Monday night.
The first 19 represented Paul George’s point total after one quarter against the Orlando Magic at Bankers Life Fieldhouse. The second 19 stood for the Pacers’ finishing 19-3 run.
A 97-84 victory was the Pacers’ 1,000th career home win opposite 580 defeats in the franchise’s 40-year NBA history.
“We got some turnovers that gave us some energy and we were able to come down and make some shots,” George said of the final push.
