INDIANAPOLIS -- About 90 minutes before Monday nights game, Pacers coach Nate McMillan wasnt sure if Paul George was going to suit up.Magic coach Frank Vogel knew better.Im expecting him to play, Vogel said with a grin.George scored 13 points in his return from a sprained ankle, and the Pacers spoiled Vogels return to Indiana with an 88-69 victory Monday night.Vogel coached the Pacers for 5 1/2 seasons before he was let go in May. He was quickly scooped up by Orlando, and it looks as if he has plenty of work to do with the Magic.He remains popular in Indiana, and he was cheered when he was introduced before the game.I love Frank, said Pacers reserve C.J. Miles, who made four 3-pointers and scored 16 points. Franks one of the reasons Im here. He believed in me and Ill never forget that.Orlando shot 32 percent from the field and committed 16 turnovers, resulting in 20 points for Indiana. Evan Fournier led the Magic with 14 points on 4-of-15 shooting, and Aaron Gordon had 11.George also had six rebounds and five assists for the Pacers, who pulled away in the second half. Monta Ellis also scored 13 points, and Jeff Teague finished with 11.Indiana led by as many as 21 points during the fourth quarter.George and Vogel exchanged text messages in recent weeks specifically talking about this game, but the coach was focused on his team after its fourth loss in its last five games.Were going to figure it out, Vogel said. Im very disappointed in the inability to build momentum. We struggled on both ends. We need to go in and get back to work.TIP-INSMagic: Orlando has lost 12 of its last 14 meetings with the Pacers, dating to the 2012-13 season.Pacers: After scoring in double digits in each of the last four games, Al Jefferson was shut out.UP NEXTMagic: Host New Orleans on Wednesday.Pacers: Host Cleveland on Wednesday.

Allen Iverson Grizzlies Jersey . Dallas hasnt ruled out the star quarterback for Sunday nights game against Philadelphia, but all signs point to Romos back injury pushing Kyle Orton into the starting role after two years of limited play as the backup. Surely Ortons name isnt the first that comes to mind for fans wanting a change after years of damaging interceptions, fumbles or, most infamously, the field goal flub when Romo dropped the snap on a kick that could have won his first playoff game in 2006. The Chiefs are positive they will have the services of All Blacks forward Liam Messam for the playoffs after the loose forward made a seamless return to Super Rugby against the Reds.Messam was cut from the New Zealand Sevens team to play at the Rio Olympics but showed hes lost none of his skills in the 15-man game following a successful 40 minutes off the bench in Brisbane on Friday.However, the 32-year-old now faces a nervous wait to see if SANZAAR will allow him to play in the finals as he currently doesnt meet the criteria of having played four competition matches.The Chiefs have applied to Super Rugbys governing body for dispensation and are hopeful of receiving a decision in the next couple of days, with the quarter-finals looming next weekend.They believe Messam will be cleared to play after coming into the side earlier this month as an injury replacemennt.ddddddddddddWe are pretty confident and we wouldnt be using him now if it were pointless, coach Dave Rennie said.Hes good and he gives us a little bit of niggle, and I think that is going to be pretty important this week against the Highlanders.Its great having him back as he brings another strong voice and is a very passionate Chiefs man.Messam, who has played a record 146 games for the Chiefs, would add some vital finals experience to the team, having captained the side to back-to-back titles in 2012 and 2013.His presence would be even more welcomed now that Charlie Ngatai has been ruled out for the rest of the Super Rugby season with concussion symptoms while Japan captain Michael Leitch remains sidelined with a thumb injury.
