(AP Photo/Doug McSchooler) By Jeff Skirvin, Associated Press INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Paul George scored 28 points and grabbed 10 rebounds to lead the Indiana Pacers to a 102-98 victory over the Miami Heat on Sunday night (Monday, PHL time). Indiana fended off a late surge from the Heat, which had won 21 of their previous 25 games. After falling behind 93-85, Miami fought back and took the lead on Dion Waiters' jumper with 3:24 left. Indiana answered with a 6-0 run to put the game out of reach and end Miami's four-game win streak. With George struggling in the fourth quarter, Indiana got clutch plays late from Jeff Teague and Myles Turner. Nursing a 97-96 lead with less than two minutes to go, Teague recorded a timely — and unexpected — block of Heat center Hassan Whiteside. With Whiteside having one of his more complete games of the season, Teague swatted Whiteside from behind on a spin to the basket, leading to two free throws by Turner on Indiana's next possession to put the Pacers up 99-96. Turner's dunk off his own miss on Indiana's next possession provided the Pacers the cushion they needed to fend off the Heat's late surge. Turner finished with 15 points for Indiana, while Teague had 12 points, five rebounds and four assists. Whiteside led the Heat with 26 points and 21 rebounds, while Waiters finished with 20 points and eight rebounds. TIP-INS Heat: Had won the previous two matchups against Indiana.
