Pacers control OT for 3rd straight win

– Roy Hibbert had a career-high 30 points and 13 rebounds to lead the Indiana Pacers to a 117-108 overtime win over the New Orleans Hornets on Tuesday night.

Paul George scored 20 points and Darren Collison had 18 points and eight rebounds for the Pacers, winners of three straight.

Trevor Ariza scored 21 points to lead the Hornets, who have lost 10 of their last 13. New Orleans, which snapped a three-game winning streak Monday at Oklahoma City, concludes a stretch of three games in three days – all on the road – tonight at Cleveland.

The Pacers went on a 10-0 run in overtime. Hibbert and Collison combined for eight points and West scored to take a 113-102 lead.

The Hornets scored back-to-back baskets and only scored once more.

Jarrett Jack made a free throw for the Hornets before Hibbert’s putback extended the advantage to 97-92 with about 1 1/2 minutes remaining.

Gustavo Ayon had three baskets in New Orleans’ 6-2 run, cutting the deficit to 99-98 with 16.5 seconds left.

Collison was fouled and went to the line. He hit 1 of 2 free throws to make it 100-98 before Ariza tied score with a jumper with 5.4 seconds left.

George missed a jumper at the buzzer.

HEAT 120, KINGS 108: In Miami, Dwyane Wade scored 30 points and added 10 assists, Mario Chalmers and Chris Bosh each scored 20 points and NBA-leading Miami stretched its winning streak to seven games.

Isaiah Thomas scored 20 of his 24 points in the third quarter for Sacramento, which dropped its sixth straight.

CAVALIERS 101, PISTONS 100: In Cleveland, Antawn Jamison scored 32 points and rookie Kyrie Irving led Cleveland’s comeback from a 17-point deficit with 17 points in the fourth quarter and end Detroit’s three-game winning streak.
