George sparks big Pacers' run as Hornets fall, 98-75

INDIANAPOLIS _ The Charlotte Hornets let a close game get away from them in the second half Wednesday, falling 98-75 to the Indiana Pacers at Bankers Life Fieldhouse.

The Hornets and Pacers were tied 42-42 at halftime, but Indiana went on a Paul George-fueled run to open the third quarter. The Pacers (35-33) outscored the Hornets 23-5 to open the quarter and the outcome was never in doubt after that.

The Hornets (29-39) are off until Saturday, when they host the Washington Wizards.

George, the Pacers' All-Star forward, scored 39 points, better than his output of 36 in a Hornets victory in Charlotte on March 6.
