I was in control until the 4th. For as great as Chris Quinn has been for me since acquiring him, he got 3 quick turnovers to start the 4th on bad passes and it went downhill from there.Comment

Hibbert Optimistic About Return From Plantar Fascitis
Roy Hibbert underwent an MRI lastnight on his previously injured left foot. Hibbert has not ran for the past 2 weeks due to the inflammation in his foot but it has since gone down and tests have shown Hibbert can return to the court.
Hibbert's return could not have come at a better time as Chris Kaman, Chris Wilcox, and Sean Williams have begun to show signs of fatigue; getting pushed around in lastnight's matchup against the Blazers and their young big-man tandem in Greg Oden and Lamarcus Aldridge.
The 7'2", 278 pound Georgetown alum is currently averaging 5.8 points a game on 51% shooting, to go with 3.9 rebounds and 1.3 blocks a game this season.
"Roy is a guy who kinda flys under the radar," explained Pacers Head Coach Jim O' Brien. "But he's a big presence in the middle. We are very happy to have him back."Last edited by mfbmike; 02-12-2009, 03:15 PM.Comment

Injuries:
Hedo Turkoglu has suffered a broken toe and will be forced to miss 22 days. This comes at a very inopportune time for the Magic as they are barely hanging on to the 8th seed in the Eastern Conference.

Top Performers:
Player Of The Game:
Chris Wilcox
Quote Of The Game:
"We managed to get out in front early on against them. Without Baron or Mike (Dunleavy), this should've been an easy win. Instead it was the second game in a row where we've really struggled to close out the other team. We have to step up that aspect of our games with the playoffs drawing closer and closer. Luckily, we were able to make it out of this one alive." - Chris Wilcox

Joe Johnson recently suffered a lower back strain and will be out for 15 days. The Pacers matchup against the Hawks later this week and this will certainly help their cause.
