Miles Scores 28 To Help Pacers Hold Off Wolves

The young Minnesota Timberwolves were the ones who really looked tired to start, and the Pacers took advantage of open shot after open shot to build a big lead and hold on for the win. C.J. Miles scored 28 points and David West bulled his way to the basket for two big points with 34 seconds to play to help the Pacers to a 100-96 victory over the Timberwolves on Sunday night. West finished with 14 points on 7-for-9 shooting and Donald Sloan scored eight straight points for Indiana to start the fourth quarter while the Timberwolves charged back into the game. The Wolves missed 13 of their first 14 shots, but looked even worse on the defensive end where they allowed Indiana to shoot 55 percent in the first half and build a 16-point lead. Williams hit a jumper a minute later for a 92-91 lead, but Miles' fourth 3-pointer of the game quieted the crowd and West put his shoulder down, pushed Thaddeus Young out of the way and dropped in a layup for a 96-94 lead that the Pacers finished off at the free throw line. Both teams have battled injuries to key players all season, with the Pacers missing Paul George and George Hill and the Wolves playing most of the season without point guard Ricky Rubio, center Nikola Pekovic and shooting guard Kevin Martin.
