Players do it all the time but I do not need 34 points and eight Oranges to validate Big Al Jefferson as a top-flight NBA Player as he has been 5-Star for quite awhile. He just wanted to make the Pacers Coaching Staff realize that they had two All-Stars (arguably three if Lance Stephenson was picked) and he should have received one of them East All-Star Reserve Selections over maybe Pacers Big "Area 55" Roy Hibbert...and that's no hard-feeling Pacers but take this "L" with you as you leave town!

The 'Cats came out inspired and went up 20-8 as the Pacers shot right at 40% for the game. Gold Swagger by now being down 20-8 after one switched to Blue Collar and cut the 'Cats lead to 47-38. Charlotte then stretched out the lead in he 3rd going up 73-57 behind Big Al Jefferson's 9 nine points in the 3rd. The Pacers didn't get any closer than a 13 point deficit at the start of the 4th and Charlotte cruised to victory 109-87 as the Pacers need to get back to their Defensive Philosophy as well as playing being the "Hunted" not the "Hunter".

Along with Big Al's scoring the 'Cats also get five other players in double figures including 19 points and nine boards from PG Kemba Walker. C.D.R. dba as Chris Douglas-Roberts and Josh McRoberts from #DukeInTheNBA both added 12 points apiece. The 'Cats forced 18 Pacers Turnovers as they committed just seven...and that put them in the win column along with solid "D" and jumping on Gold Swagger early before they knew what hit them. Pacers were led by Evan Turner's 22 points off the bench.  

Pacers fall to 46-15 while the 'Cats move to 28-33 holding down the #7 slot in the East. With the loss the Heat is just a game and a half behind the Pacers as they are tied in the Loss Column at 15.
