Dahntay Jones scored 18 minutes in just 20 minutes off the bench as the Indiana Pacers beat the New Jersey Nets 105-86 to claim a fourth straight victory since Frank Vogel took over as interim coach. The Nets defense couldn't stop the Pacers all game long, and New Jersey got just 26 points combined out of Brook Lopez and Devin Harris.
Pacers Vs. Nets: Dahntay Jones, Mike Dunleavy Key Indiana’s Fourth Straight Win
Mike Dunleavy added 17 for the Pacers, who had fallen to 10 games below .500 when Indiana president Larry Bird decided to fire coach Jim O'Brien. Vogel's reign has been aided by a relative soft schedule; the Pacers' four consecutive wins have come against the Raptors, Cavaliers and now the Nets, in addition to the solid Blazers. O'Brien's fateful final four losses came to Portland, the Nuggets, the Magic and the Bulls. (O'Brien beat the Nets in there, too.)
Indiana's stars didn't do a whole lot, but Danny Granger did have a nice alley-oop feed to rookie Paul George in transition.
It’s about the most calm feed one could imagine.
