Jackson’s late three-pointer lifts Pacers over Warriors

Al Harrington scored 28 points to lead the Pacers to their second straight win, and third of four. Jamaal Tinsley scored 23 points, grabbed eight rebounds, and tallied eight assists on the game. Jeff Foster scored 11 and pulled down 10 rebounds for Indiana.

Monta Ellis led the Warriors with 27 points. Baron Davis scored 24, grabbed nine rebounds, and doled out nine assists for Golden State, which had a two-game winning streak stopped. Dunleavy scored 19 points, and Mickael Pietrus added 12 on the night.

Davis missed a fadeaway jumper from the free-throw line that would have put the Warriors up three with 12 seconds left. The Pacers, with no timeouts, pushed the ball up the court, where Danny Granger had an open look from behind the arc. Granger’s shot missed, but Davis slapped the ball out past any of his teammates, where it bounced to an uncovered Jackson just to the left of the top of the key. Jackson, who scored 13 points, knocked the shot home to put the Pacers up 108-106 with just one second left.

Golden State called timeout, and had an inbounds play set, but Dunleavy led Davis too far, and the ball bounced out of bounds as the buzzer sounded.

The frenetic finish closed a mostly neck-and-neck game. The teams were tied 81-81 entering the fourth quarter.

Golden State led 29-27 after the first quarter, and 56-55 going into halftime.

The Warriors had briefly opened up a 10-point lead early in the second quarter, after starting the quarter on an 11-2 run. The double-digit lead was short-lived, though, in a game where neither team led large for long.
