Pacers 96, Bobcats 88: David West registered a triple-double and George Hill scored 19 points to lead four players in double figures as Indiana extended its home winning streak to 10 games.

Former Bobcat D.J. Augustin had 18 points and West finished with 14, 12 rebounds and 10 assists for the Central Division-leading Pacers, who have won four in a row and 13 of their last 16.

Ben Gordon had 13 of his 21 points during the first half for the Bobcats, who have dropped 10 of their last 11 meetings with Indiana.

Charlotte trimmed the deficit to two on two occasions during the fourth quarter - with the latter one coming with 6:45 to play. Hill answered by draining a 3-pointer as the shot clock expired to cap an 11-3 burst as Indiana claimed an 87-78 advantage.
