INDIANAPOLIS – David West and George Hill each scored 15 points to help the Indiana Pacers beat the Dallas Mavericks 103-83 on Friday night.

Lance Stephenson’s layup early in the second half tied the game at 51, and Hibbert’s free throw put the Pacers ahead. Indiana expanded the lead to 59-54 on a 3-pointer by Stephenson.

A 3-pointer by Young pushed the Pacers ahead 70-59 with 4:02 left in the third quarter. Stephenson hit another 3 to make it 75-61 with 2:39 left in the third quarter. Indiana led 76-67 at the end of the period.

Stephenson scored 10 points in the third quarter as the Pacers held the Mavericks to 28 percent shooting in the period.
