INDIANAPOLIS -- If not for Paul George, the Philadelphia 76ers might have left Indiana with their first win of the season.On Wednesday night, two familiar storylines played out in the games final minutes: the Pacers once again relied on their All-Star forward to pull out a close win at home; and the Sixers lost yet another close game.George, who finished with 28 points and eight rebounds, scored seven of the Pacers 13 points in overtime to defeat the Sixers 122-115.Theyre a young group. Theyre still going to come out and be competitive. Thats what we overlooked, George said.The Sixers were resilient all game, and multiple times during the final 3 minutes they looked as if they were going to put the game away. The 76ers led by as many as six points with less than 2 minutes remaining in the game before Jeff Teague hit a floater in the lane to give Indiana a one-point lead. With 6 seconds remaining in regulation, Gerald Henderson hit a 3-pointer to give Philadelphia a 2-point lead. But on the ensuing Pacers possession, George hit a baseline jumper with 3 seconds left to tie it at 109.On the Pacers first possession of overtime, George set the tone with a 3-pointer to give Indiana the lead. And it was George who threw down an emphatic dunk that gave Indiana a six-point lead, ultimately sealing the win for the Pacers.Coach drew up a play for the 3-pointer to open up overtime, George said. Those moments, I have experience.Those plays suck the life out of you, and I knew at that moment we needed to play (with urgency).Teague finished with a season-high 30 points and added nine assists. Teague and George combined to score Indianas final 15 points of the fourth quarter. Myles Turner finished with 15 points and nine rebounds for Indiana.The final score wont show how much Philadelphia controlled Wednesday nights game at times. The Pacers could not pull away from the Sixers throughout much of the game, and even squandered the small lead they held at one point, having to climb back from a double-digit deficit. Indiana led 37-34 halfway through the second quarter when the 76ers opened up a 13-0 run to take a 10-point lead. Indiana answered with a 10-2 run to pull within single digits, but the 76ers went into halftime leading 60-54.Philadelphia even had an opportunity to win the game in the fourth quarter. With about 3 seconds left in regulation, Jahlil Okafor attempted a fade-away jumper from the baseline that bounced off the back of the rim as time expired.Robert Covington led the Sixers with 23 points. Henderson finished with 17 points and five rebounds while Dario Saric had 14 points and 12 rebounds.We had a lot of balance in our scoring, but we gave up a few too many points, Henderson said. A couple of times we messed up on game plan-type stuff and had some silly turnovers. We deserved to win the game, we just came up a little short, and we move on.Saric was searching for an answer.I dont know what to say, he said. We fall a point short. We have to continue to work hard in practice, everyone give 100 percent and a win will come one day. We hope it comes in the next game at home, in front of our fans, they deserve it.TIP-INSPhiladelphia: Joel Embiid did not travel with the team to Indiana, remaining in Philadelphia for rest.Indiana: The Pacers have won 10 of the last 11 regular-season meetings with the 76ers dating to 2013-14. ...

For a man who just skippered the Brumbies to the Super Rugby finals, Christian Lealiifano was surprisingly downbeat.Feeling under the weather, with a cut above his right eye and a sore shoulder, the usually jovial playmaker struggled to crack a smile after Saturdays 24-10 win over the Western Force to claim Australian conference honours.He was less than impressed with his sides showing in what was largely an uninspiring display at GIO Stadium against the countrys worst-ranked team.While it was enough to get them to a fourth straight playoffs, Lealiifano wasnt ready to celebrate.Im one of the more disappointed ones, the co-captain said.I was disappointed with the errors we made and just couldnt really build any momentum which was frustrating.I think our attack got a bit lost at times there, and as a game caller and controller I was disappointed to not boss the boys around enough.The Brumbies only needed one point from the match to kick the NSW Waratahs - who lost to the Blues on Friday but claimed a bonus point - out of the finals race and secure Australias sole ticket to the playoffs.They will face last years champions the Highlanders at home on Friday.But it was an uninspiring display that ended with a scoreless second-half and a disappointed coach.You have your ups and downs in the tournament, and certainly the second half was a half that were not particularly happy with, but its aall irrelevant now, Larkham said.ddddddddddddts about putting it behind you and taking the things you can take out of it and move onto the next job.Lealiifano didnt believe complacency was the issue against the Force, who applied plenty of defensive pressure - which the Brumbies handled well.We came in with a clear focus and a plan with the way we wanted to play, and I guess thats whats most disappointing - that we didnt really execute what we wanted to, he said.I dont think its going to hurt us too much but its a good learn for us heading into this part of the season, to be able to adapt in those situations.?After we get over this disappointment, I think well come in on Monday buzzing that weve got an opportunity to push forward in this comp.The 28-year-old had been sick all week but said not enough to keep out him out from Fridays quarter-final.Superstar Wallabies flanker David Pocock is on track to return from a fractured eye socket, which has sidelined him for almost six weeks.Larkham will wait until he gets cleared by the club doctor before making a call on his selection.Theres a time period from the initial injury that weve had to wait for, so depending on what that is we will make the decision internally and then let you know on Wednesday, he said.
