THE FACTS: George Hill stepped into Indiana's rotating spotlight, scoring 26 points to lead the Pacers to the brink of their first trip to the Eastern Conference Finals in nearly a decade with a 93-82 victory over New York Tuesday at Bankers Life Fieldhouse. Indiana takes a 3-1 series lead into Madison Square Garden for Game 4 Thursday night against a Knicks team that has yet to unlock the Pacers' stifling defense. Paul George had 18 points, 14 rebounds and seven assists for the Pacers, who outrebounded the Knicks 54-36 and held them to less than 36 percent shooting (.356) for the second game in a row. Carmelo Anthony scored 24 and J.R. Smith 19 for New York, but they needed 45 combined shots to generate those 43 points.
