If Hibbert just takes care of the ball, he can get his shot all night. #bigif

Ed Davis just hit a jump shot - really

— Eric Pincus (@EricPincus) January 5, 2015

Goodness. CJ Miles is still on fire #Pacers

— Brigette (@Brigette912) January 5, 2015

21-6 run by the Pacers.

— Hardwood Paroxysm (@HPbasketball) January 5, 2015

The Pacers did an excellent job showing how bad and good they can be in just over a 10 minute span.

The Lakers' overall scheme at both end is reminiscent of most bad youth rec league teams. Kobe is the coach's son, in this analogy.

#Pacers finish 1Q on 14-0 run to lead 28-15. CJ Miles with big boost off the bench with 11 points.

— Tom Lewis (@IndyCornrows) January 5, 2015

Mr. Dependable Donald Sloan has FIVE Assists & FIVE points in first Q vs. Lakers as @pacers lead 28-15

Nick Young with the solid pump fake before making the free throw. #SwaggyFreeThrows

So far, Lakers getting out-rebounded 18-8. Kobe's 3 rebounds are also team high.

— Serena Winters (@SerenaWinters) January 5, 2015

Lakers are 10-for-28 from the field while Nick Young is 7-for-7 from the line.

— 8 Points, 9 Seconds (@8pts9secs) January 5, 2015

Another few beautiful passes from Kobe. Ronnie Price knocks in the 3. Lakers down 44-36.

— Silver Screen and Roll (@LakersSBN) January 5, 2015

Nick Young gets a steal and buries a 25-footer at the halftime buzzer, so Lakers trail only 48-41.

After the starting the game scoreless in first 15 minutes of play, and generally looking off, David West has 2 field goals here in the 3rd

— Candace Buckner (@CandaceDBuckner) January 5, 2015

Tomorrow night will be just the 4th game Wesley Johnson (hip) misses in his 2 years w/LAL. Has played in 113 of 116.

— Mike Trudell (@LakersReporter) January 5, 2015

Wes Johnson out for tonight and tomorrow with a strained right hip flexor. Having an MRI tomorrow.

— Bill Oram (@billoram) January 5, 2015

David West 3-point play. He now joins all the other Pacers starters with at least 7 points.

— 8 Points, 9 Seconds (@8pts9secs) January 5, 2015

Nice to see DWest doing DWest things in the 3Q. #Pacers

— Tom Lewis (@IndyCornrows) January 5, 2015

Watching Nick Young try to attack and dish makes u realize why he almost never passes..

— BBALLBREAKDOWN (@bballbreakdown) January 5, 2015

Anyway, we have a basketball game going on too, and Swaggy P just made it a 1 point game after some fancy moves and a 3.

— Silver Screen and Roll (@LakersSBN) January 5, 2015

Oh, wow. Roy Hibbert goes after Carlos Boozer and has to be pulled away by teammates

— Candace Buckner (@CandaceDBuckner) January 5, 2015

Carlos Boozer actually made contact on a ball screen.

— Nate Duncan (@NateDuncanNBA) January 5, 2015

Sloan beats the shot clock with a quick jumper, and he's scored 16 points tonight. With 43 seconds remaining: IND 87, LAL 86

— Indiana Pacers (@Pacers) January 5, 2015

CLUTCH MAMBA HAS RETURNED TO GIVE PHOENIX THE PICK

— Hardwood Paroxysm (@HPbasketball) January 5, 2015

In this game, Donald Sloan clear out is probably their best option and I'm not remotely joking.

— 8 Points, 9 Seconds (@8pts9secs) January 5, 2015

Pacers are the masters at running plays where a lot of things happen but nobody gets open, leading to their bigs taking long contested shots

— Chillin in my Bacta (@DarthAmin) January 5, 2015

Final: Lakers 88, #Pacers 87

C.J. Miles: 19pts/2rebs
Donald Sloan: 16pts/7rebs/9asts
Roy Hibbert: 12pts/11rebs
