Pacers 104, Warriors 98:
Rodney Stuckey continued his outstanding play with 30 points off the bench as host Indiana rebounded from an early 12-point deficit to stun Golden State.

Stuckey, who scored a season-high 30 points Friday against Philadelphia, shook off an ankle injury to connect on 11-of-17 shots and added five assists as the Pacers continued their best stretch of basketball this season with a sixth win in seven games. Fellow reserves C.J. Watson (12 points) and Luis Scola combined for 23 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists while C.J. Miles contributed 13 points and a dagger 3-pointer late for the Pacers, who have won 12 of the last 14 home games in this series.

Klay Thompson was a one-man show with 39 points for the Warriors, who had their four-game winning streak snapped while playing without MVP candidate Stephen Curry (sore ankle). The rest of the starters contributed 24 points and Golden State shot 21-of-66 after starting the game 13-of-23 in failing to compete the first series sweep over Indiana since 2000-01.

Stuckey opened a 9-4 run with a layup and capped it with a jumper to provide Indiana a 98-94 lead with 1:41 left. After Thompson drained a 3-pointer to cut the edge to one, Miles drained a wide-open 3-pointer from the right wing to restore a 101-97 edge with 26.5 ticks remaining and Stuckey added two free throws after that to ice it.

The Warriors controlled tempo in the first quarter, getting 15 points from Thompson in taking a 38-26 lead before Indiana slowed the pace in the second, drained all nine of its free throws and received 24 bench points - 10 from Stuckey - to take a 58-57 edge at the break. Thompson scored 11 in the third but Stuckey countered with nine in the final 4 1/2 minutes, including a banked 30-footer at the buzzer to provide Indiana an 81-78 edge entering the fourth.

GAME NOTEBOOK: Stuckey has scored 109 points on 41-of-68 shooting in his last five games. … Thompson, who shot 12-of-28, including 5-of-13 from the arc, scored 40 points in the Warriors' 117-102 win over the Pacers on Jan. 7. … The Warriors dropped to an NBA-best 16-3 against the East this season.
