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.

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. ...

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.

The mixed zone is not a place to make friends.Surrey 154 for 8 (Finch 51, Davey 3-20) beat Somerset 139 for 6 (Jayawardene 36, Dernbach 3-32) by 15 runsScorecardIt was always going to require something inspired for Surrey to defend their Aaron Finch-filled 154. But, through a combination of waspish fielding, fine bowling - with Jade Dernbach to the fore in both disciplines - and canny captaincy, they did just that - by a whopping 15 runs, all but ending Somersets hopes of progressing. After a staggering stall in Surreys innings after Finchs fireworks, Somerset - strangled by Surrey - put on a clinic in how not to chase.Dernbach, having taken a wicket in both his early overs and also pulling off a magnificent direct hit to dismiss Jim Allenby, was recalled to the attack by Gareth Batty and entrusted - as he always is - with closing out a tight game with his chicanery and craft. The equation was 33 required from 24 balls, and five Somerset wickets still standing.These last 12 Dernbach deliveries - always just wide enough of line, always just awkward enough of length, and never remotely readable of pace - went for eight, with his last ball deceiving Lewis Gregory, who was caught on the midwicket fence. As Tom Curran - who bowled a brilliant over between Dernbachs two - stood atop his mark for the inningss last, the game was won.It was Sam Currans tight opening over and Ben Foakess outstanding diving catch of Johann Myburgh - off Dernbachs bowling - that set the tone for Surreys excellent defence. Against the new ball, Mahela Jayawardene was in sublime form, flicking beautifully to leg and placing perfectly on the offside but, after Dernbach bowled Peter Trego, he fell to Battys first ball.Batty quickly identified that, with 63 scored from the first six overs, the spin of he and Zafar Ansari would be vital. Both finished with figures of 1 for 20, with Ansaris wicket also vital, Roloef van der Merwe bowled slogging. With the wind sucked from Somersets sails - although Alex Barrow and Gregory shared a chancy 43 to give them hope, Batty turned to Dernbach and his protege, the older Curran.If Dernbach sealed the deal, it was Finch who set Surreys win up. South London on a Friday night is as close to the Twenty20 Finch knows as England can offer.dddddddddddd Before a roisterous sellout crowd of 25,500 - there were, as now seems mandatory, variations of Will Griggs On Fire, and the Iceland slowclap - Finch began the night in ominously ravenous form.By the time Surrey had 50, for the loss of just Jason Roy, who bunted Josh Davey to mid-off, Finch had 44. There was a cut four, before Lewis Gregory was pulled for six, lustily pumped through cover for four, then flicked to cow for six more. Jamie Overton was the victim of another violent triptych: a sensual six towards long-on, a beastly cover drive, and a finessed guide to third man.Yet when he went, a couple of balls after reaching 50, bowled off the pad by Max Waller - who Finch admitted on TV after that he had never seen bowl, Surrey lost their way horribly. There were all the hallmarks of the grim stall: a 12-over wait for a boundary (Tom Curran and Ben Foakes scrambled one each late on), and there were no more sixes; there were two run outs, with Rory Burnss so farcical that the third umpire was required to decide whether he or Dom Sibley should go. Sibley failed to kick on, adding five to his score before slapping to long-on, Chris Morris top edged to be caught and bowled, while Zafar Ansari pulled straight to the man in the deep.In the Curran brothers, on the day they were called up by England Lions, Surrey found a pair of patient, dinky accumulators, who ensured their innings went the distance. Sam, productive to third man, was run out cleverly by the leaping wicketkeeper Barrow going for a silly second, while Tom lost Foakes to a brilliant catch at backward square-leg from Peter Trego in the final over.It should never have been enough, but Dernbach - after a lengthy spell on the sidelines - is back. The nature of his job often make his failures memorable, but there remain few better at closing out a game. At 30, and having seen - not to mention copped - plenty, he is now a wily old operator with more to give than most acknowledge. Somerset had no answer. ' ' '
