Pacers Vs. Magic, NBA Playoffs 2012 Game 2, Final Score: Pacers Bounce Back Against Magic with 93-78 win
Pacers fans might have been worried after ugly offensive execution in the first game saw Indiana put up just 77 in a four-point loss, but their defense was strong enough to return the favor by holding an offensively challenged Orlando team to 78. Indiana struggled to shoot the ball - going 2-for-20 from deep - but strong offensive rebounding and efficient performances from Hill and Paul George were enough to make the victory comfortable.

George Hill gave 'em that Broad Ripple stroke for 3. Nice to see it return for Game 2.
