INDIANAPOLIS — George Hill was just looking to get to the free throw line when he heaved up an awkward 3-pointer. Instead, he put his Pacers in position to end the Cavaliers' winning streak.
C.J. Miles scored 26 points, Hill converted a key four-point play and the Indiana Pacers ended the Cleveland Cavaliers' 12-game winning streak, 103-99 Friday night.
Trailing by one with 1:26 to play, Kyrie Irving fouled Hill off a ball screen while shooting an off-balance, one-handed 3. Hill made the 3 and the free throw to extend Indiana's lead to three points. Hill finished with 20 points.
"I just wanted to make a play. Shots weren't falling for me at the time," Hill said. "I was trying to figure out ways to get to the free throw line and I knew (Irving) was pressing over up over the screen. (I) tried to draw the foul and it worked to our advantage."
