INDIANAPOLIS -- The Indiana Pacers had to wait a little longer than usual to pull away for yet another victory. Kyrie Irving and the Cleveland Cavaliers were left fretting over an MRI on the stars left knee. Paul George scored 21 points, Roy Hibbert added 19 and the Pacers used a dominant fourth quarter to blow out the Cavaliers 91-76 on Tuesday The Pacers (25-5) have won eight in a row over Cleveland, their longest active streak against any opponent. Instead of opening up a nice lead in the third quarter, as is their tendency, they limited the Cavs to 3-of-16 shooting and forced seven turnovers in the final period to seize control. Cleveland (10-21) dropped its sixth straight but hopes Irving was not lost, too. After missing a fast-break layup late in the third quarter, Irving went down and clutched his knee. Seconds later, a foul led to a timeout and Irving struggled to leave the court. Cavs coach Mike Brown hustled over to check on Irving when the third-year point guard sat around midcourt. "I thought the worst happened," Irving said. "I felt something pop in my knee. I was falling down around all over the place. It was a painful experience." Irving was helped to the locker room with 4:01 remaining in the period, but returned with 9:27 left in the game. Still, he said the knee "didnt feel right" after that and an MRI was scheduled for Wednesday. Anderson Varejao led Cleveland with 14 points and 11 rebounds. Irving was a limited factor even before the injury, finishing with 10 points, five rebounds and five assists. The Cavs shot 36.2 per cent from the field and committed 15 turnovers. George Hill had 13 points and six rebounds for the Pacers, who have won five in a row and sent the Cavs to their eighth straight loss in Indianapolis. Indiana won the fourth quarter by a 26-10 margin. "We played better defence, played smart and hit the open man," said Lance Stephenson, who had a game-high eight assists. "We were protecting the rim. Everybody was in their gaps and G-Hill did a great job on Kyrie Irving." Cleveland had six turnovers in the first 6 minutes of the quarter, including giveaways on three straight possessions by reserve centre Tyler Zeller. "You have to give credit to Indiana for turning it up a couple notches and taking us out of whatever we were trying to execute," Brown said. "For three quarters we played the game the right way. Turnovers hurt us in a low-scoring game. Thats very frustrating." For most of the afternoon, it was anybodys game. The Cavaliers led 17-9 on Earl Clarks midrange shot with 4:22 left in the first quarter. But the Pacers reserves dominated their Cleveland counterparts in a 10-3 surge that put Indiana ahead 35-34 on Danny Grangers finger-roll with 4:57 left in the half. Granger matched a season-high with 12 points, including eight in the second quarter when the benches were matched against one another. Hibberts jumper with 3:22 left in the half gave the Pacers a 39-37 edge, before the Cavaliers settled down and rallied. Dion Waiters driving layup with 26 seconds to play gave Cleveland a 44-41 halftime lead. George hit a 3 to tie the game at 63 late in the third. Indiana made 11 of 21 shots in the period but trailed 66-65 entering the fourth. To that point there were eight ties and 15 lead changes. The tenor of the game changed drastically from there. "What happened tonight was a credit to what the Cavs did," George said. "They played with a lot of energy. They played a good game." The Pacers put together a 15-6 run to take an 80-72 lead on Hills layup with just under 7 minutes left. Cleveland never got closer than six the rest of the way. Georges emphatic dunk put Indiana ahead 91-74 with 2:41 to play. "That was probably the easiest basket of the night," George said. NOTES: Indiana began a 10-game stretch in which it plays nine teams with losing records. The Cavaliers have just two road victories, tied for the fewest in the league. Indiana trailed after three quarters for only the sixth time this season. The Pacers have held seven opponents under 80 points, including Cleveland twice. . "I wrote 36 on my sheet at the beginning of the game," the Cincinnati coach said, referring the yard line the ball would need to be snapped from.

Jefferson has been charged with assaulting his girlfriend. . Anthony Calvillo, through 20 CFL seasons, was frequently invincible and largely stoic in the heat of competition. But underneath the professional exterior he was, and is, compellingly human.Kory Sheets plays a pass-first sport in an even more pass-first league. But his steadily spectacular production through the first half of this season is allowing the Saskatchewan Roughriders to think run. Sheets became the fastest CFL player ever to reach 1,000 yards rushing, eclipsing the mark during Saskatchewans Week 9 win over the Edmonton Eskimos. The sophomore imports 1,058 yards through eight games has him on pace to break the leagues single season rushing record of 2,065, set by Mike Pringle of the Montreal Alouettes in 1998. Sheets is averaging 132.25 yards per game to start the season, and if he keeps it up, will shatter Pringles mark by 315 yards. And theres every reason to believe he can. Sheets numbers arent inflated by one giant performance. In seven of the teams eight games, the 28-year-old has rushed for 130 or more yards, and only once has he gone for more than 140 yards. Sheets is as steady as it gets. The Riders should continue to feed him the ball as well. Sheets leads the league in rushing attempts with 175, a healthy margin over the second place Jon Cornish with 108. Sheets has had the benefit of a 7-1 record and at least a few blowouts to pad his stats with late game runs to kill the cclock, but the Darian Durant-Drew Willy combo ranks among the leaders in passing attempts, so it isnt fair to say Sheets opportunity will decrease drastically should the teams competition get stiffer in the second half.dddddddddddd. Unless the Riders struggle mightily to finish out the season, they should be able to maintain their current balance of run and pass. Sheets current lead for the rushing title sits at more than 300 yards, and while Cornish (currently in second with 749 yards) is capable of producing a remarkable run – if healthy – Sheets has it all but wrapped up. The focus now is Pringles 2,065 yards. With the Riders looking like a well-oiled machine comfortable using the Purdue product more than any other back in the league, that mark looks very attainable. Sheets biggest road block to the record could be if the Riders keep winning and he gets the late season rest treatment ahead of the playoffs. The CFL loves a record breaker and it looks like theyll have another one come November, or even late October. The Rouge asks: Will Kory Sheets break the single season CFL rushing record this year? Youve heard what weve had to say, now its your turn. As always, its Your! Call.
