PACERS 102 WARRIORS 94...INDY starts out GOLD Swagger than playing BLUE Collar after the Break to hold onto to beat G.S.W. on WARRIORS Ground...LOGO WATCH with Game 1 of a Five-Game MOTEL Swing for PACER Nation out WEST #PACERnation #GoldSwagger #BlueCollar

The Indiana Pacers have the look and the feel when you watch them of of a Team that is capable of getting to and winning the "Fight for Larry" in June 2014. They jumped all over Golden State in Planet Oracle only to come back down to earth and play Pacer Basketball predicated on getting "Stops" at the Defensive End and forcing your team to execute the game plane for a full 48.

A 35-21 first frame was enough of a cushion to hold off the ever surging Warriors led by Sharp-Shooter Stephen Curry and "Hustle Man' David Lee. The Pacers make shots late with big-time Money Balls from "Lance of the BK" Stephenson and George Hill to overcome a few runs by the Warriors to win 102-94.

Pacers All-Star Paul George led Blue Collar with 23 points with PF David West adding 17 points. The Floor Game of Lance Stephenson was on display again as he was hovering in and out of a possible Triple Double with 14 points, ten boards, and seven assists. Roy "Area 55" Hibbert of Hoya Paranoia added a double-double with a solid 14 points and thirteen boards as the Pacers didn't shoot well but the defensive end is where they created havoc.

The Warriors get 24 points and nine helpers from Steph Curry and 20 and twelves boards from David Lee but it was the Pacers "D". Most if not all the Warriors Money Balls were contested as they shot 10 for 30 but turned the Orange over 15 times. Klay-T added 17 points as he made it difficult for Pacers PG-24 all night long to get in a groove offensively. Big Aussie Bogut went double-double with 10 points an thirteen boards.

Pacers have won five in a row and move to an NBA leading 33-7 as they start their Five-Game Motel Swing. The Warriors fall to 26-17 after a East Coast Swing that had them 6-1 as they have lost four of six including the loss to the Pacers tonight.
