Two of the best in the NBA met up as the Indiana Pacers hosted the Oklahoma City Thunder. Indy still trying to edge the Miami Heat for the top spot in the East while OKC needed a win to secure the second seed out West.

Oklahoma City with the early lead but then CJ Watson lights it up from outside and we've got a tie ballgame, Watson would finish with 20 points off the bench.

Indiana leads in the second quarter but Roy Hibbert gets blocked by Serge Ibaka and then it'll be Kevin Durant with the flush on the other end all even again game-high 38 for KD.

Pacers looking to take charge after half-time and David West's second straight basket increases their cushion to five, West on his way to 21 points and Scott Brooks looks to calm the waters for the Thunder. But the visitors still trail late in the fourth Q until Russell Westbrook pulls the trigger from outside tied again three of Westbrook's 21 points there.

Indy's response comes 30 seconds later Paul George from downtow and that shot puts the hosts up by three George with 20 points and 12 rebounds.

Then in the final minute, Lance Stephenson pulls up for the trey, That bucket caps off his league-best fifth triple-double of the season 17 points, 10 rebounds, and 11 assists, Lance never camera-shy and Indiana wins by five.
