Pacers Win the First OT Game Against Cleveland Cavs 98-91

It wasn't pretty, but it was "smash mouth" all right. This new identity that Frank Vogel is bringing to the Pacers, and one that this team is showing.  The Pacers rebounded the ball well last night and relied on their defense to carry them.  No more throwing three pointers at will as they only made two last night and one of those came in the overtime session.  Danny Granger put up 22 points, but still needs to find his shot.  As does the whole team.  They are shooting under 40 percent, but winning games, which is a good sign. Just think what can happen if this team can put together a decent shooting night.  George Hill and David West came up big in this game, and we're seeing that those were great additions.  Hill had 15 points, 5 rebounds, and 4 steals, not a bad night for him.  David West was able to make a big basket towards the end, and had his own figures of 14 points and 10 rebounds.  And what can you say about Roy Hibbert?  He's only put up three games of a double double.  Maybe Hibbert is finally putting it together.  I've said it before, and I'll say it again, but this could be a huge year for Hibbert, and this is the time to get his act going.  Overall, it's great to see this win, but things need to tighten up, if the Pacers really want to make some noise in the East.  And the way this team is going, that could be a good possibility.
