INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 23 (AP) -- Danny Granger scored 25 points and Jamaal Tinsley added 24 to help the Indiana Pacers hold off the Dallas Mavericks 111-107 on Friday night. 
Troy Murphy finished with 18 points, Mike Dunleavy scored 17 and Jeff Foster had 10 points and 11 rebounds for the Pacers (6-7), who won for the third time in four games despite playing without All-Star forward Jermaine O'Neal. 
Devin Harris scored 24 points, Dirk Nowitzki added 20 points and 11 rebounds, and Josh Howard finished with 19 points for the Mavericks (9-3), who had their five-game win streak snapped. 
Dallas, which trailed by 16 points in the first half, tied it at 98 on Brandon Bass' basket with 5:48 left in the fourth quarter. The Pacers regained a 104-98 advantage later in the period, but the Mavericks scored the next four points to get within two. 
Shawne Williams' free throw gave Indiana a 110-107 lead with 8 seconds left, and Foster knocked the ball away from Nowitzki on the Mavericks' ensuing inbounds play to secure the victory. |
