INDIANAPOLIS -- A few different versions of Paul George have been showing up lately for the Indiana Pacers. The dominant one made an appearance Wednesday night against Portland.

 

George scored 22 points to help Indiana beat the Trail Blazers 99-92 on Wednesday night.

 

George, Indiana's No. 2 scorer this season, has been inconsistent. He scored four points at Sacramento and went scoreless at Golden State before exploding for 34 points at Chicago on Tuesday night.

 

He followed that by scoring 14 of his 22 points in the second half against the Trail Blazers.

 

The question remains whether the talented 22-year-old is merely teasing the Pacers with the back-to-back strong efforts.

 

"You just watch him and some of the shots that he's making and you think, 'Boy, if he could ever stabilize and do this on a consistent basis,' " Indiana coach Frank Vogel said.

 

George doesn't worry about the consistency issue as much as Vogel does.

 

"I don't look at it like that anymore," George said. "I just come out and play. I feel like I'm preparing myself well enough to just go out and play, take the shots that are there and be confident in those shots."

 

George Hill added 18 points and David West had 16 points and 10 rebounds for the Pacers (10-9), who have won four of five and moved above .500 for the first time since a 2-1 start. Indiana, the league leader in scoring defense, held the Blazers to 43 percent shooting.
