Pacers 103, Knicks 96 (OT): Paul George scored nine of his 35 points in overtime as visiting Indiana sent New York to its sixth straight home loss.

George rebounded from a season-low 12-point outing in the Pacers' only loss of the season Saturday in Chicago to carry his team down the stretch, hitting three free throws to force the extra session and then dominating in overtime. George Hill added 23 points and David West contributed 10 points to go with 10 rebounds.

Carmelo Anthony led the struggling Knicks with 30 points on 10-of-28 shooting, missing a potential game-winner in the lane at the end of regulation. J.R. Smith scored 21 points off the bench and Beno Udrih finished with 19.

Anthony made two foul shots with 9.2 seconds left in the fourth quarter to give his team an 89-86 lead but George hit three from the line after he was was fouled by Iman Shumpert beyond the arc with 5.2 ticks remaining. George buried a 3-pointer to start overtime, answered an Anthony hook shot with a pull-up jumper and two free throws to make it 96-91 and added one more basket with 67 seconds to go to put Indiana up 99-93.

The Knicks scored the game's first 13 points as Indiana started 0-for-7 from the floor before getting to within 19-14 at the end of one when Roy Hibbert banked in a buzzer-beating 3-pointer. New York's lead remained five points entering the third and was at four points going into the fourth before the Pacers took a 65-64 lead on Chris Copeland's 3-pointer with 10:25 left, setting up a see-saw finish.
