Pacers-Nets Preview

The Indiana Pacers have responded very well to their coaching change and should be in line to keep that trend going.

The Pacers can improve to 4-0 under interim coach Frank Vogel on Sunday by beating the New Jersey Nets for the sixth straight time.

Last Sunday, Indiana (20-27) fired Jim O'Brien on Sunday after the team lost seven of eight games. The 37-year-old Vogel has come in and guided the Pacers past Toronto, Cleveland and Portland.

"This is a new team," Vogel said. "A new beginning. We should be excited, OK? This is going to be a special end of the year, OK? Jump on board. Come out and see us."

The Pacers are in a tight battle for one of the final playoff spots in the Eastern Conference, and Vogel expects his team to get a berth.

"When we get in the playoffs, in that final week or two of the season, all the one seeds, Boston, Miami, or Orlando - they're not going to want to play this basketball team," he said.

Danny Granger had 25 points and nine rebounds in Friday's 100-87 victory over Portland. Granger was questionable with a sinus infection, but made 7 of 13 shots from the field to help Indiana post its first winning streak of more than two games.

A key factor to this win streak has been Indiana's effort on the glass. The Pacers have outrebounded their last three foes by an average of 18.0 boards, including a 58-39 cushion Friday.

"We're changing the identity of our basketball team - dramatically," Vogel said. "We are a power post team, blood and guts, old school, smashmouth team, that plays with size, strength, speed, athleticism. We attack the basket."

The Nets (15-36) have lost four of five following a 92-82 loss at Detroit on Friday. Anthony Morrow scored 22 points in his first start since Dec. 12 in place of Stephen Graham, who had started the previous 23 games before he was benched.

New Jersey was outrebounded for the second straight game, 40-34.

"Right now we need to do better on the boards and we have to hit first," coach Avery Johnson said. "Until we learn how to hit first, it is going to continue."

The Pacers have averaged 33.0 first-quarter points during this win streak. They have played well offensively during their five-game streak over New Jersey, shooting 51.0 percent and averaging 111.6 points.

That includes Indiana's second-best shooting performance of the season, finishing at 62.5 percent in a 124-92 rout of the Nets on Jan. 28. New Jersey allowed its highest point total of the season.

Third-year center Roy Hibbert is averaging 17.4 points, 7.2 rebounds and 2.8 blocks in his last five games against New Jersey.

The 7-foot-2 Hibbert will be counted on to try to slow down the 7-footer Brook Lopez, picked seven spots ahead of him in the 2008 draft. Lopez is averaging 25.2 points and 8.6 rebounds in his last five games against Indiana.

Jones scores 18, Pacers top Nets 105-86

NEWARK, N.J. (AP) When Frank Vogel was growing up in New Jersey, there used to be a state tourism advertisement:

"New Jersey and You: Perfect Together."

Since taking over as the Indiana Pacers' interim coach last week, Vogel has seemingly made the ad his own:

"Frank Vogel and the Pacers: Perfect Together.

Fellow New Jersey native Dahntay Jones scored a season-high 18 points and the Pacers remained unbeaten in four games under Vogel with a 105-86 victory over the New Jersey Nets on Sunday.

"One of the best moments of my basketball life was when I was a student manager in 1996 at Kentucky and we won the Final Four in the Meadowlands," said Vogel, who grew up in Wildwood, south of Atlantic City. "This was a huge moment for me and I was overwhelmed by the amount of people who showed up. It was a good day for both of us."

Jones, who grew up near the state capital of Trenton, had averaged 3.1 points in 12 games this season, with a high of eight. He had 12 in the final quarter when Indiana blew the game open.

"It's always special to come back home and play well in front of those who supported me all my life," Jones said. "I always have a little more confidence coming home."

Jones noted that Vogel has changed the Pacers with his enthusiasm and his demand that the team play defense and rebound.

"He always has positive things to say. He tries to make you feel special. He's giving a lot of guys confidence. There's a huge parallel between him and Doc (Rivers) in terms of personality and love of the game," said Jones, who played for Boston last year. "It's a good quality to have in a coach. He keeps our heads up. What Frank is doing is making sure that every day starts with a compliment and that's what we need."

The Pacers had little problem handling the Nets, getting contributions from 10 players, with six finishing in double figures.

Mike Dunleavy added 17 points and hit a 3-pointer to ignite an early 10-point run that put the Pacers ahead for good.

Paul George added 14, Danny Granger and Roy Hibbert had 11 apiece, and Darren Collison 10.

Indiana has scored at least 100 points in each of its four games since Vogel replaced Jim O'Brien a week ago Sunday.

"I think everyone is a little more loose now and we're doing different things," forward Josh McRoberts said. "I have a lot of respect for Coach O'Brien, but maybe sometimes change loosens things up. We now have a little bit more of a rotation and that's working."

Devin Harris had 13 points and seven assists and Brook Lopez added 13 for New Jersey, which lost its third straight.

"It's our starts, we're getting off to sluggish starts," Harris said.

Indiana never trailed after Dunleavy, 6 of 8 from the field, tied the game at 8 with a 3-pointer and Collison sandwiched a jumper and a 3-pointer around a dunk by McRoberts for a 15-8 lead.

The Pacers led by nine after the opening quarter. They pushed the lead to 13 at the half with a late 15-7 spurt that featured eight points from George and another 3-pointer by Dunleavy.

"There are no excuses," Nets guard Anthony Morrow said. "It's a team thing. There's something we have to do to overcome. The coach is doing everything he can do. We collectively find out what it takes to get over this right now."

Notes: Jordan Farmar might return to the Nets' lineup next week. The backup point guard has missed six straight games with back problems. ... Nets backup center Johan Petro tied his season-high with eight points and had a monster rejection on George on a drive at the end of the first half. ... Jones also got a technical in the second quarter.

Pacers-Nets Notebook

By Jake Appleman, for NBA.com
Posted Sunday February 6, 2011 3:21PM

THE FACTS: Balance, savvy and athleticism all served the Pacers well in a 105-86 victory against the overmatched Nets. Dahntay Jones tallied a season-high 18 points for Indiana, while Mike Dunleavy pitched in 17. No Net scored over 13.

QUOTABLE: "That's what works for us."
- Jones on the interchangeability and teamwork of the Pacers

THE STAT: The Pacers finished with 42 points in the point, having their way with the Nets inside.

TURNING POINT: Danny Granger's alley-oop conversion late in the first quarter extended the Indiana lead to 30-24. That bucket - followed by three more points before the end of the frame - established a trend of the Pacers building big leads that the Nets could not fully overcome.

QUOTABLE II: "It's nothing I'm doing, it's our guys, they understand how good they are. They understand how good they can be this year, right now. We have a good basketball team. It was a good day for us."
- Interim Pacers coach, Frank Vogel

FANTASY SPOTLIGHT: While Roy Hibbert's numbers (11 points, 3 rebounds) weren't gaudy, the big man looked mobile and strong down low.

INSIDE THE ARENA: Members of Team Hype wore Packers and Steelers clothing while throwing tee shirts into the crowd and Mini Sly donned a Troy Polamalu wig...Kim Kardashian sat baseline courtside...Several Nets made their Super Bowl prediction on the Jumbotron. Only Devin Harris, a Wisconsin native, picked the Packers...

ROOKIE WATCH: Aside from a nice chase-down block early in the game, Derrick Favors (2 points) struggled while Paul George (14 points, 6 rebounds) sparkled in reserve duty for the Pacers.

NOTABLE: Both Harris and Brook Lopez had to be subbed out due to early first quarter foul trouble...Josh McRoberts and George wowed the crowd with acrobatic dunks...Dunleavy took two charges in the first half of the first quarter...The Pacers hit five of their first six 3-point attempts...Harris failed to make a field goal during the first half...The Pacers were called for an 8-second violation late in the third quarter...

UP NEXT: For the Pacers, Tuesday @ Miami, Wednesday vs. Charlotte, Friday vs. Minnesota. For the Nets, Wednesday vs. New Orleans, Friday @ Charlotte, Saturday vs. New York.
