Owner Real Deal Posted December 24, 2012 Author Owner Report Share Posted December 24, 2012 NEW ORLEANS -- David West made himself right at home -- at the New Orleans Hornets' expense. The former Hornets forward scored 20 of his 25 points in the second half and the Indiana Pacers overcame a 22-point deficit to beat New Orleans 81-75 on Saturday night, handing the Hornets their 11th straight loss. "As a group we felt that we had to get our legs back," West said. "We came out struggling in that first half. I thought the team did a good job of just gaining our composure and getting a little more focused defensively (in the second half)." West made nine of his final 11 shots, including late baskets that helped seal the victory. "He really took over the game made unguardable shots," Pacers coach Frank Vogel said. "It was reminiscent of Dirk Nowitzki, with his fadeaway. He really just willed us, willed our team to a win." Paul George steadied Indiana in the first half with 11 points, and finished with 17 points and 12 rebounds to help the Pacers win for the seventh time in eight games. Robin Lopez had 24 points and 11 rebounds for the Hornets, stuck in their worst stretch since December 2004. Greivis Vasquez added 14 points, and Anthony Davis had 10 for the Hornets. After the Hornets took a 46-24, the Pacers outscored them 57-29 -- including 24-7 in the third quarter.http://www.cbssports.com/nba/gametracker/recap/NBA_20121222_IND@NO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
