Like so many times in the past, the Indiana Pacers went to Paul George to clinch the game in the clutch, but tonight he did not come through for the hometown crowd.
Golden State’s Klay Thompson was the hero of the match, helping the Warriors hold off a late Pacer run in the 4th quarter and hitting the go-ahead jumper against George Hill to give them the road win. This win gives GS a huge boost to follow their 6-2 run after the All-Star break and cements the fact they’re one of the league’s top contenders, cementing the W against one of the Eastern Conference favorites.
