INDIANAPOLIS -- Paul George and Myles Turner were determined to end Indianas recent woes against Charlotte.George and Turner scored 22 points each to lead the Pacers to a 110-94 win over the Hornets on Monday night, snapping Indianas four-game losing streak against Charlotte in the regular season.We knew this team has kicked us in the past, four or five times, so we wanted to come out here and send a message, Turner said. We were so connected in the first quarter on defense and it just carried over to the rest of the game.Jeff Teague had 16 points, 11 assists and five rebounds, and Rodney Stuckey added 14 points for the Pacers, who have won two straight since returning home from a five-game road trip.Marco Belinelli scored 14 points for the Hornets, Marvin Williams and Nicolas Batum each had 13 and Kemba Walker added 12.C.J.

He started the game with a 3-pointer and a flashy, turnaround jumper, but never went off to help Indiana pull away until the fourth quarter when he scored three times, including a basket to give the Pacers a nine-point lead.Mostly it was a game of runs.Turner and Glenn Robinson III made back-to-back 3s in the first quarter to help Indiana get off to a good start. Later Turner hit another 3-pointer and Thaddeus Young scored on a layup to put the Pacers ahead 20-10 with 3:20 to go in the first before the Hornets went on a 9-0 run to get back within a point.When youre down, you have to stick to the game plan and keep playing, Batum said. You cant give up. We did it a couple of times. We almost got the lead and when we get the lead we just have to keep it.The Pacers went on another lead in the second quarter and the Hornets closed out the half on an 8-1 run to trail 45-43 at halftime.TIP-INSHornets: Charlotte shot just 30.8 percent in the first half and trailed by only two points, 45-43. ...

G Monta Ellis was out with a sore groin.A HOMECOMING OF SORTSHornets center Cody Zeller, who attended Indiana University and is a native of the Hoosier state, received a warm welcome from fans during pregame introductions. The welcome wasnt quite the same for Roy Hibbert when he checked into the game late in the first quarter. Hibbert, who played for the Pacers for seven seasons from 2008-15, was met with scattered boos when he entered the lineup. The jeers were noticeably louder when he first got the ball, though his hook-shot in the middle of a 9-0 run in the first quarter quieted fans.FIRST QUARTER SPARKHibbert actually created a bit of a spark off the bench in the first quarter.

But now that hes in the NHL, the Calgary Flames centre showed big improvement in that department by scoring the winner in the eighth round of a 5-4 shootout victory over the Winnipeg Jets on Monday. Wally Szczerbiak Jersey . The 26-year-old Ireland striker, who has four goals this season, has signed a three-and-a-half year contract with his new club. ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- The Boston Red Sox finish the season with 22 of their remaining 38 games on the road, but nights like Mondays 6-2 win over the Tampa Bay Rays -- giving the Red Sox the second-best road record in the American League at 32-27 -- provides them with confidence down the stretch.Weve embraced it, Red Sox manager John Farrell said. So much has been made that were going to have such a tough road, and dont get me wrong, we have a tough road ahead of us, regardless of where were playing. But the fact that our guys have let it roll off their back. Theyve bonded even closer together as we get deeper into the season.Tuesday nights game at Tropicana Field pits two starting pitchers at opposite ends of the spectrum. Bostons Clay Buchholz has a career 2.63 ERA in 20 starts against the Rays, second best of any pitcher with 10 or more starts.For all that success, hes just 8-7 during his career against the Rays, and hasnt faced them since May 2015, when he gave up nine hits and five earned runs in 6 1/3 innings. He has struggled this season with a 4-9 record and a 5.42 ERA.Thats stellar compared with Rays starter Chris Archer, who has a major-league leading 16 losses this year and is facing a historic stretch of losing against the Red Sox.Archer is 1-9 in his career with a 5.82 ERA against Boston, having lost nine straight decisions, the longest sstretch for any pitcher since Mike Moore lost 10 straight from 1987 to 1992.dddddddddddd Archer is worse this season, with an 0-3 record and an 8.10 ERA in three starts.The Rays will need him to last deeper into the game than Monday starter Blake Snell, who survived only 3 2/3 innings, setting up a bullpen that gave up four runs and five hits, tasked with getting five-plus innings against a tough Boston lineup.We fell behind early, Rays manager Kevin Cash said. Blake just struggled to find the zone and it drove his pitch count up. He did some good things getting ahead of hitters, but it seemed like there were too many bullets wasted, leading to too many walks (five). When you walk this team eight (total) times, youre going to make it difficult to win a ballgame because theyre so deep offensively.Farrell said Bostons strong play, especially on the road, has started with excellent pitching, like David Prices eight shutout innings on Monday and what he hopes is a solid outing now from Buchholz against a team he has a history of strong pitching for a full decade.More importantly, its the way weve pitched, bar none, Farrell said. Weve been in a good run for a solid month, and thats whats allowed us to extend any kind of streaks. ' ' '
