George, Hibbert spark Pacers

Indiana have beaten Boston 106-79 in the NBA while Toronto downed Oklahoma 104-98.

Paul George scored 24 points and Roy Hibbert added 15 points and 12 rebounds on Sunday to power the Indiana Pacers to a 106-79 NBA rout of the Boston Celtics.

Indiana's Lance Stephenson achieved his third triple-double of the season with 12 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists.

No other NBA player has more than one game with double digits in three statistical categories this season.

The Pacers, with the best record in the Eastern Conference at 22-5, also has 12 points off the bench from Danny Granger, who made his season debut Friday against Houston due to patellar tendonitis that limited him to only five games last season.

The Celtics, who fell to 12-17, lost their third game in a row despite 13 points from Avery Bradley and 11 each from Jeff Green and Courtney Lee.

Meanwhile, Kyle Lowry scored 22 points and passed off a game-high nine assists to spark the Toronto Raptors to a 104-98 NBA upset of the Oklahoma City Thunder.
