recent woes against Charlotte.
Alessandro Vaglio Italy Jersey .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. Miles made the go ahead 3-pointer with 5.6 seconds remaining in
the third quarter to start an 11-1 run by the Pacers. It gave Indiana a 76-73
lead and Stuckeys two free throws with 8:56 to play put the Pacers ahead
84-74.The Hornets had a short spurt in the fourth as Frank Kaminsky made a
3-pointer and Jeremy Lamb scored on a fast break layup to make it 87-82 with
7:03 left. But Turners 3 with 1:12 put the Pacers ahead 103-92 to seal it for
Indiana.At the start of the game, George appeared to pick up from where he left
off on Saturday when he scored 37 points in the Pacers 118-111 win over
Portland. 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.
... The Hornets finished shooting 33.3 percent from the field.Pacers: George and
Turner each had five rebounds. . Stuckey left the game in the fourth quarter
with a left knee contusion . 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. He set a screen twice for Belinelli that cleared him for
open baskets, including one he was fouled on before he completed the and-one.
Then Hibbert made back-to-back shots, including one to get the Hornets within a
point.UP NEXTHornets: At Washington on Wednesday night for their third game of a
five-game road trip.Pacers: At Miami on Wednesday night, where they have lost
three straight regular season games.

. Michell Burger, a woman who lives on an estate next to Pistorius gated
community, said she and her husband were awoken by the screams in the pre-dawn
hours of Feb. 14 last year, when Pistorius killed Reeva Steenkamp by shooting
four times through a door in his bathroom. NEW ORLEANS -- The man accused of
murdering former New Orleans Saints standout Will Smith is now waiting for a
jury of eight women and four men to decide his fate after they began
deliberations just before 5 p.m. CT on Sunday evening.Lawyers for both sides
passionately spent the day asking that jury to decide whether Cardell Hayes, 29,
acted in self-defense or if it was another senseless act of stupidity in a city
that is unfortunately known for its gun violence, as the prosecution argued.This
is all about somebody getting really mad, shouted assistant district attorney
Laura Rodrigue, who said it wouldnt play well to stand in front of somebody in
this community and say, I just got pissed off and killed him. ... But it happens
every day.Hayes attorney, John Fuller, meanwhile, spent nearly four hours
pleading the case of his client, who is accused of murdering Smith and
attempting to murder Smiths wife, Racquel, who was shot once through both legs
before Smith was shot eight times -- including seven times in the back.Fuller
claimed that Hayes did not begin shooting until he saw a weapon in Smiths hand
and heard a pop -- as Hayes testified Saturday. And Fuller strongly suggested
that Smith himself might have shot his own wife -- even though no evidence has
been produced to show that another gun was produced, fired or found on the
scene.Hayes is charged with three counts -- the second-degree murder of Smith,
which carries a mandatory life sentence in Louisiana; the attempted
second-degree murder of Racquel; and aggravated criminal damage to property for
intentionally hitting Smiths car. The jury could also decide to find Hayes
guilty of lesser offenses, including manslaughter and negligent homicide --
though both sides argued against any sort of compromise verdict in court.Mr.
Smith did not deserve to die because of an accident. He did not deserve to die
because he was intoxicated. But what he did was put Mr. Hayes in a position
where all he could do was defend himself, said Fuller, who spent the course of
the seven-day trial painting Smith and others in his party as drunken,
aggressive attackers who rushed at Hayes and his friend after a pair of traffic
incidents.Its not about his character, its that he wasnt acting himself on that
night, Fuller argued.Fuller criticized the prosecution for never testing the DNA
on the bullet they claim sailed through Racquels legs or for never putting a
doctor on the stand to explain why bullet fragments couldnt be removed from
Racquels legs for further evidence.The prosecution, meanwhile, called the idea
that Smith shot his own wife desperation, saying the first they heard of it was
when Hayes made the claim in his Saturday testimony -- pointing out that the
defense never even suggested the theory in opening arguments. And the
prosecution continued to insist that every bullet and every shell casing matched
every wound -- and they were all traced back to one gun.Furthermore, to believe
the garbage that Fuller and Hayes were spewing, Rodrigue said the jury would
have to believe that someone removed the mystery gun from the scene, removed the
mystery bullet from the scene and washed gunshot residue off of Smiths hands --
in front of a packed scene that was crowded with peoplle within 30 seconds of
the shooting.
Luke Gregerson USA Jersey. Rodrigue also
argued that they would have to ignore the math and science of the ballistics
experts, as well as the crash expert who testified that the entire incident
began with Hayes intentionally ramming his car into the back of Smiths vehicle.
And they would have to ignore the testimony of many witnesses.Rodrigue also
argued that Hayes himself never mentioned Smith producing or firing a gun when
he briefly spoke to police detectives and people on the scene in recorded
conversations that night.Fuller argued that all evidence showed Hayes tried to
avoid doing what he had to do and showed restraint -- while almost all witnesses
testified that Smith had to be restrained by his wife. Fuller said neutral
witnesses painted Smith and those in his party as the aggressors during a heated
argument -- though the state argued that the witnesses did not know a crash
expert had testified that Hayes intentionally caused the accident or that Hayes
was the only one who exited his vehicle with a gun that night.In one of Fullers
most passionate moments, he chastised assistant district attorney Jason Napoli
for having the nerve to say in his initial closing argument that this case is
not even close even though jurors must be torn.He had the nerve to tell you to
check your brain, Fuller said. You think you wouldnt have had the emotions you
had yesterday if this wasnt even close? ... How dare he tell you to check your
brain.Fuller said finding closure for Ms. Smith is not why the jury is here, and
a miscarriage of justice or misapplication of the law wont bring Smith back.Much
of Fullers oratory also centered around a personal war of words between the
attorneys, saying the prosecutors attacked him and fellow defense attorney Jay
Daniels, dragging the case into the mud. Presumably, that was part of Fullers
week-long attempts to paint the case as an example of Smith receiving star
treatment because of his celebrity, with the full force of the DAs office on
Smiths side and not his clients side.Rodrigue, however, addressed the issue of
star treatment, pointing out that the state aggressively prosecuted former
Saints star Darren Sharper, who was found guilty of multiple rapes in multiple
states. Napoli also said in his opening remarks, saying that he couldnt agree
more with Fuller, that this is a case of the haves and the have-nots -- and that
Racquel and her family are the have-nots after losing their husband and father
and nobody in the city would trade places with them.And both Napoli and Rodrigue
made a passionate plea toward the jurors, saying it is their job to help them
corral a crime problem in New Orleans that also includes the recent shooting of
another former NFL player, Joe McKnight, whose funeral is scheduled for Monday,
just across town from the courthouse.Napoli said if they justify what Hayes did,
they might as well close this building and allow anarchy out there.You are the
only weapon we have to fight back against the violence in this city, Napoli
said. You all will decide what type of city we will have, how we will treat one
another.
