628x471-pacers

 

Andrew Bynum grabbed a game-high 10 rebounds in his Indiana debut to help lead the Pacers to a 94-83 victory over the Boston Celtics. David West scored a game-high 24 points for the Pacers. Bynum also scored 8 points in only 15 minutes of action off the bench. Paul George and George Hill scored 12 points a piece for the Pacers and Luis Scola came off the bench to score 11 points. Jared Sullinger led the Celtics with 17 points off the bench and Kris Humphries scored 15 points, both players led Boston with 9 rebounds each. The Pacers are now 47-17 after losing four in a row and Boston drops to 22-42. If Bynum can play like this and stay healthy, the Pacers are going to be a big threat in the playoffs.
