INDIANAPOLIS - David West was tired of watching the Pacers let leads slip away on the road.So on Friday night, the power forward who has struggled offensively since returning from an injury, got back to his old ways at home.He scored seven points in the final six minutes against short-handed Boston, helping the Pacers fend off a frenetic fourth-quarter rally for a 107-103 victory, Indianas fourth win in six games. West was just 3 of 11 from the field, but his biggest contribution didnt show up on the box score.They made some plays. But we made enough plays down the stretch, he said.Indiana (15-23) has needed that sort of veteran leadership ever since All-Star forward Paul George went down with a broken right leg in August.But West missed Indianas first 16 games with a sprained right ankle, and hes dealing with a previous injury to his hand that sometimes acts up when it gets hit. That happened Friday, which may explain Wests shooting.Fortunately for the Pacers, his teammates pitched in. Roy Hibbert finished with 19 points, 11 rebounds and five blocks. C.J. Miles added 17 points and C.J. Watson joined West in making big shots late.And the Celtics (12-22) werent at full strength.Boston was led by Avery Bradley with 23 points and Brandon Bass with 17 on a night they were missing two players -- forward-centre Brandan Wright, who was traded to Phoenix just before tip-off, and leading scorer Jeff Green, who is rumoured to be headed to Memphis. Green was yanked out of the starting lineup and did not suit up for the Celtics.Its a unique day, a tough day, and we came out and battled even though we couldnt make a shot in the first three quarters, said Boston coach Brad Stevens, who led nearby Butler to two straight Final Fours.The Celtics did fight hard, erasing a 13-point deficit in the final 8:34 of regulation. They forced overtime with Bradleys 3 with 4.3 seconds left.West could have won it with at the buzzer. But instead, he did the dirty work in overtime. His three-point play gave Indiana a 100-96 lead.Bradley scored Bostons next five points, and Evan Turners 16-foot jumper gave the Celtics a 103-102 lead with 1:45 to go.Thats when West came up big again. He made two free throws to give Indiana the lead for good. Miles made two more and Bostons closing 3 was off the mark.David was great down the stretch, coach Frank Vogel said. He was just big enough to help us close out the game.___TIP-INSCeltics: Boston was hoping it had started a new journey after snapping a four-game losing streak on the road Wednesday night at Brooklyn. Instead, the Celtics struggled offensively for most of the night and couldnt quite close out the Pacers, who have beaten the Celtics three straight times in Indy.Pacers: The injuries just wont go away for Indiana. In addition to Paul George (broken right leg), the Pacers played without starting point guard George Hill (strained left groin) and backup centre Ian Mahinmi (torn left plantar fascia). Three of their teammates -- Hibbert (sprained left ankle), guard Rodney Stuckey (sore right groin) and Watson (sore left foot) -- all played hurt.UP NEXTCeltics: Boston completes its three-game road trip at Toronto on Saturday.Pacers: Indiana heads to Philadelphia on Saturday.OFFENSIVE STRUGGLESWest wasnt the only player who had a tough shooting night. Indiana shot 37 per cent from the field, while Boston was 41 of 103 (39.8 per cent). The Celtics were even worse on 3-pointers, going 10 of 34 (29.4 per cent). But the Celtics became the first team to make 10 3s in a game against the Pacers this season. Nathan Shepherd Jersey . His Brazilian opponents said he produced miracles.

Days… Weeks… Months… Almost a year has gone by and still… you dont know them. The legendary Robert Montgomery Knight, aka, The General, one of the winningest coaches in college basketball history, strolls in to inspect the troops. He came to see them, to share his wisdom before they march into madness… to see who exactly this rag-tag bunch of players, not blue bloods… scrappers… fighters… winners, were. Coach Knight, the leader of the last college team to go undefeated and win an NCAA title, the 1976 Indiana Hoosiers, shows up at practice in late February to tell them to take it "one game at a time". He is a fan of how they play. "Play Angry". The 2013-2014 Wichita State mens basketball team does just that. But more importantly, plays hard, plays tough and plays together, leading to an NCAA-record 30-0 regular season mark under head coach Gregg Marshall. Saturday, March 1, 2014: Charles Koch Arena, Wichita, Kansas: Senior Night. The final matchup before the conference tourney and the opponent Missouri State is no easy out for the Shockers. This is also the final home game for two Canadian senior forwards, Chadrack Lufile, as well as his best friend, a young man whose last name is famous, not only in the state of Kansas, but on a couple continents, Nick Wiggins. Nick has a younger brother, Andrew who you may know, playing in the same state only two and half hours away, for a program so steeped in tradition, the inventor of basketball was the first head coach of the Kansas Jayhawks, fellow Canuck James Naismith. I got on the phone with Nick Wiggins and Chadrack Lufile post-practice this week to talk life in the shadows and possibly shocking the world. Did you guys know one another before signing at Wichita State? NW: Weve known one another since we were teenagers. CL: We actually went to the same junior college together at Vincennes in Indiana. NW: I signed first. I didnt force him to sign or anything… just told him it would be special for us to go together. Why Wichita State? CL: Nick had narrowed his choices down to Baylor and Wichita State. He talked about his visit, how they treated him, the ambitions of the coaches and players. There was just a feeling; a good feeling about it all. Once Nick decided, I was in, too. We had to take advantage of what looked like a great opportunity in front of us. NW: When we first got here, first couple years, we didnt play as much as wed have liked to but it was always about team. Still, it was tough at times, knowing you could help the team on the court more. CL: My Dads a minister. He has a huge influence on all that I do. Once, wed lost three straight, neither one of us was playing a lot and my Dad prayed for us. Not just us, but the team. I remember telling Nick about it. NW: Yeah, I mean we had 7-8 guys on this team last year who could score 20 in any game, but we share the ball. Thats how play. CL: And then we ended up in the Final Four. We believed... Iff you had to compare your game to any Wichita State great from the past, who would it be and why? NW: So many great players who have come through here.dddddddddddd Id say Cleo Littleton. He was known for his defence and for being a great teammate. I think thats me. CL: X! Xavier McDaniel. He and Antoine Carr, another Shockers legend, came in to to see us last year and really instilled in us to "Play Angry". Thats our thing now: Play Angry. He (McDaniel) told me to box out hard, never let anyone get to the ball before I did, rebound strong, run the floor harder than my opponent, be versatile with my game. We emulate the guys who were here before us. They are Shockers for life! What do you say to the pundits who believe 30-0 is a function of you guys playing in the Missouri Valley Conference, the perceived lack in your strength of schedule and not because youre a great team? NW: Schedule us. Everyone talks KU (Kansas), but they wouldnt play us. We wanted to do it at a neutral site, but they didnt want it. Thats ok, people who dont believe mid-majors can compete with major D-1 schools havent really watched us play. They will find out soon enough. CL: Say what you want about our conference or the teams we beat. Just come play us. We feel like we can compete with anyone. We beat the #1 team in the country in Gonzaga in the tournament last year. Ohio State was #7, Pitt #20. Just play us. Do you think you should be ranked #1 in the country? CL: Honestly, I think we should be! NW: We dont really pay it much attention. It could be almost like a distraction. We dont look past anyone. You still gotta win. The team we play our last home game against, Missouri State, is tough. They had us down by like 17 with about 11 minutes to go in the game before we fought back and won. It was a war. Im sure they wont care that its Senior Night for us when we play them again. They wanna win, too! If Wichita State runs the table by winning your conference tourney, should you be a #1 seed for March Madness? NW: We proved all year we should be a #1 seed. I think the selection committee will do the right thing and give us that. We lost some great guys from last years team and still havent skipped a beat or lost a step. Coach Marshall has us prepared. This will be a special ride to go on with this group of guys. Dream Scenario: Clearly winning it all is the ultimate dream. But, if Wichita State had a chance to play Kansas in the final on April 7 in Dallas, why would it be that much sweeter? CL: Lets Go!!! Do you know how hype that would be?!? NW: If they seed us and Kansas in the same region 1-2, wow, the rivalry... My brother. I believe itll happen. State bragging rights. Man, I would have lifetime bragging rights in my house (laughs)!!! CL: Andrew (Wiggins) would come down to chill and hang with us. Id tell him "Youre not ready for us, Bro (laughs)!" Im no genius or anything, but I believe all of this. All the things that are happening with Wichita State are meant to be. I feel like well meet Kansas, God Willing. And God Is Good...
