Thunder top Pacers in George’s return to Indiana

PAUL George made a winning return to Indiana, hitting the clinching free throws with 10.7 seconds left in the Oklahoma City Thunder’s 100-95 victory over the Pacers on Wednesday night.

Steven Adams had 23 points and 13 rebounds, and Russell Westbrook finished with 10 points, 17 rebounds and 12 assists in his ninth triple-double this season. The Thunder have won two straight on the road.

Former Oklahoma City guard Victor Oladipo led the Pacers with 19 points and Bojan Bogdanovic had 15.

But the highly anticipated matchup between George and Oladipo, the key components in last summer’s blockbuster trade, didn’t go as expected.

George was booed loudly during introductions and every time he touched the ball. The four-time All-Star finished 12 points on 3-of-14 shooting.

Elsewhere, it was: Celtics 124, Nuggets 118; Pelicans 115, Bucks 108; Rockets 108, Hornets 96; Wizards 93, Grizzlies 87; Trail Blazers 102, Heat 95; Bulls 103, Jazz 100; Raptors 115, Suns 109; and Clippers 106, Magic 95.
