Pacers 97, Celtics 82: Lance Stephenson recorded his second triple-double of the season and Indiana used a big second half to cruise past host Boston.

Stephenson finished with 10 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists as Indiana won its second straight following its first loss. Paul George led the way with 27 points while David West added 17 for the Pacers, who outscored Boston 55-32 over the final two quarters.

Jordan Crawford had 24 points for the Celtics, who shot over 50 percent for the game but committed 23 turnovers which led to 30 Indiana points. Jeff Green added 20 points in Boston's sixth consecutive loss.

The Celtics rode 19 points from Crawford and 59 percent shooting to a 50-42 halftime lead but the offense short-circuited in a one-sided third quarter. West led the way for Indiana with 10 points in the period while the Celtics finished with just three field goals and 11 turnovers to find themselves trailing 67-58 entering the fourth.

Luis Scola made it a double-digit game with a long jumper just past the five-minute mark of the final quarter. George then went to work, effectively putting the game out of reach with a deft three-point play and an emphatic dunk on a Stephenson feed.
