Or not. "Our belief," Pacers coach Frank Vogel said Thursday, "has strengthened." Barely 12 hours after LeBron James scored on a drive as time expired in overti...

No, he might not necessarily enjoy going head-to-head with 7-foot-2 Roy Hibbert when the Miami Heat open this series against the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday night, especially since the Pacers' biggest man is arguably enjoying the best postseason run of his career to date....

On Saturday, it produced the biggest payoff for the Pacers in nearly a decade. Roy Hibbert's block of Carmelo Anthony's dunk attempt midway through the fourth quarter spurred an 11-2 run that rallied the Pacers to a 106-99 victory in Game 6 of their second-round series, sending th...

Once Anthony stopped making them, the Indiana Pacers had pushed the Knicks to the brink of elimination. Anthony missed all four of his field goals in the fourth quarter and fouled out. Paul George had six points, four rebou...

David West, Roy Hibbert and the rest of the Pacers are classic Eastern Conference bruisers, and the New York Knicks are countering with something closer to small ball. "It'll be, to me, a contrast in styles most of the series," Indiana coach Frank Vogel said. ...

This time, the Hawks didn't back down. Jeff Teague came up from behind to give West a shove, a play that epitomized a resurgent team intent on making this a series.

When Atlanta tried to get tough, the Pacers buckled down and got even tougher. When the Hawks tried to run, the Pacers simply slowed them down. And when the Hawks tried to rally, well, the Pacers punched back with Paul George, George Hill or any other open shooter. The...

The New York Knicks have earned the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference, and with it the chance the rest some aching bodies.

If the transition goes as smoothly as it did Friday night, nobody will quibble. After hobbling around on a severely sprained left ankle for one quarter, Bryant took himself out of the game and made sure he was the most valuable player on the Lakers' bench. ...
