George, Pacers beat Pistons 105-90
AUBURN HILLS, Mich. — The Indiana Pacers hope a renewed emphasis on defense will help turn their season around.
Paul George scored 26 points and Indiana held Detroit to 38 percent shooting in a 105-90 win over the Pistons on Saturday.
“We’ve got to be a consistent and well-coached defensive team,” said George, who also had seven rebounds and two steals. “It’s the consistency that we have to match every night.”
Jeff Teague had 19 points, nine rebounds and eight assists for the Pacers, who snapped a two-game losing streak and beat the Pistons for the third straight time.
