Indiana knocks off Charlotte 120-95
(INDIANAPOLIS) – Darren Collison threw the early scoring punches and Victor Oladipo delivered the decisive second-half flurry. Oladipo scored 16 of his 21 points in the second half, Collison finished with 19 points and nine assists and surging Indiana pulled away from the Charlotte Hornets 120-95 on Sunday for their fourth win in five games. The Pacers have gone 11-3 over the past month, improving to 16 games above .500 for the first time since the end of the 2013-14 season. It's not by happenstance, either. Coach Nate McMillan has repeatedly challenged his players to move the ball and stay aggressive on offense while confounding opponents with their ability to stay in front of the ball on defense. Indiana has used that blueprint to win its last four games by 86 points, all by at least 12. Charlotte fell into the same trap as the other teams -- falling behind early and trying to play catch-up against the league's top scoring defense. Kemba Walker led the Hornets with 23 points but didn't get enough from a supporting cast that was held in check. Malik Monk finished with 11 points off the bench while Bismack Biyombo and Jeremy Lamb each scored 10 as the Hornets' three-game winning streak ended.
