OAKLAND, Calif. - Just about everything George Hill tried to do to stop Golden States Monta Ellis failed -- until it counted most for Indianas backup guard. With Ellis positioning himself for the potential game-winning shot and the clock winding down, Hill literally stepped in the way and saved his team from again getting burned by the Warriors star guard. Hill knocked the ball away from Ellis when it bounced off his foot then scored on a three-point play with 1.8 seconds remaining and the Pacers held off a late charge to beat the Warriors 94-91 on Friday night. It was very reminiscent of the last time these two teams played at Oracle Arena when Ellis made a game-winner against Indiana on a last-second shot. This time it was Hill who came up with the big play. "I forced him into some really tough shots all game but him being a great player, they went in his favour and dropped," Hill said. "I just tried to stick with it. What goes around sometimes comes around." Hills heroics saved the Pacers from blowing another fourth-quarter lead. Two nights earlier, Indiana let a 14-point lead slip away and managed just eight points in the final 12 minutes of a 92-88 loss to Sacramento. The Pacers only led by four in the fourth this time then had to hold on after Ellis nearly brought Golden State back. "Monta was hitting some terribly difficult shots with good defence on him and thats all we could have asked of George Hill," Indiana coach Frank Vogel said. "When it came down to it, he (isolated) him at the top of the key and made the play of the game." Although he was credited with a steal, replays showed that the ball actually hit off Hills foot before bouncing away. Hill quickly retrieved it then raced the length of the floor for a layup. He was fouled by Stephen Curry and made the free throw for the final margin. Golden State called a quick timeout and got the ball to Curry coming out of the break, but his 29-footer at the buzzer bounced off the back of the rim. "It was a tough missed call," Warriors coach Mark Jackson said. "Clearly he kicked the ball. But at the end of the day you dont blame the refs, you blame our team. We should have taken better care of the ball." Indiana had dropped four straight games on the road at Oracle Arena before Hills late heroics. Hill, who also blocked a 3-point attempt by Ellis at the end of the first quarter, finished with 14 points. Danny Granger had 26 points, and Roy Hibbert added 10 points and a career-high 16 rebounds for Indiana, which has won four of five. The Pacers (10-4) are off to their best start since opening the 2003-04 season 13-1. Ellis finished with 25 points and six assists, while Curry had 12 points in his first game in more than two weeks for Golden State (5-10). David West added 18 points and seven rebounds for the Pacers. "Its tough to come in here and win," Hill said. "Theyve beat some pretty good teams and coach Jackson has them playing well. Luckily the basketball gods were on our side." This one almost slipped through the Pacers hands, too. Granger went into the night averaging 30.5 points over his previous eight games against Golden State and picked up where he left off in the first of two matchups with the Warriors this season. Indianas leading scorer, Granger made five of his first seven shots and had 12 points and two assists in the first quarter when the Pacers repeatedly set up shop inside the paint. Hill added five points and also blocked Ellis long range shot at the buzzer to keep Indianas lead at 27-23. Curry, who played with a heavily taped ankle, showed obvious rust after not playing for 16 days and missed his first four shots before knocking down a pair of long jumpers as part of a 13-4 surge -- while four Golden State starters were on the bench. Dorrel Wright followed by scoring the Warriors final seven points in the period, including a tying 3-pointer with 53 seconds left. The two teams traded leads for much of the third quarter until Golden States big came up big again and outscored Indiana 8-2 over the final 1:27 to give the Warriors a 69-67 lead heading into the fourth. Wright added 18 points and five rebounds for the Warriors, who have dropped nine of 12. The Pacers tried to pull away and led by four with 2 minutes remaining but let it slip away before Hills big play. Notes: The crowd of 17,621 was the lowest at Oracle Arena this season. ...

CHICAGO -- Edmonton coach Tom Renney hopes the NHL will take a close look at Daniel Carcillos nasty boarding penalty. Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville made it sound like an accident. Everyone agreed it was a crucial play. Ryan Smyth and Taylor Hall scored power-play goals after Carcillo was ejected in the second period, and the Oilers held on for a 4-3 victory over Chicago on Monday night. Jordan Eberle had two assists for the Oilers, including a perfect backhand pass to Andy Sutton for the tiebreaking score in the second. Former Blackhawks forward Ben Eager added an insurance goal in the third as Edmonton snapped a three-game slide. "Thats the way we played at the start of the year," Sutton said. "I dont know whats so complicated about playing that way. Just dont turn the puck over. We were tenacious on the puck and the results speak for themselves." The Oilers trailed 1-0 when Carcillo launched Tom Gilbert into the boards 7:23 into the second, resulting in a major boarding penalty and a game misconduct. "I think the hit speaks for itself and the penalty does as well," Renney said. "At least to this point its been addressed and I hope it will be looked into even further." Gilbert had a step on Carcillo when the well-known agitator pushed the defenceman, sending him into the air and into the boards behind the Edmonton goal. Both went down after the vicious hit and had to be helped off the ice. "I can hear the ref screaming from the other corner to be careful, to lay up on him, and he comes in contact and throws him off balance 5 feet from the boards," Oilers goalie Devan Dubnyk said. "I mean, thats got to be one of the most dangerous plays in hockey for sure, and both guys end up injured out of it." Gilbert left with a lower-body injury. The Oilers also lost prized rookie Ryan Nugent-Hopkins to an upper-body injury earlier in the game, and Renney said he wasnt sure when either player would return to the ice. Nugent-Hopkins, the top overall pick in last years draft, began the day leading NHL rookies with 35 points (13 goals, 22 assists). Carcillo appeared to be favouring his left leg when he was helped off. "Im not going to argue the call," Quenneville said. "He beat him to the counter-hit. It wasnt intent. Both guys went for the same type of a play and he beat him, had better position on the guy. Its unfortunate what happened." Jonathan Toews, Andrew Brunette and Jimmy Hayes scored for Chicagoo, which had won three of four and 10 of 13.dddddddddddd The Blackhawks were looking to avenge a 9-2 loss at Edmonton in their previous meeting Nov. 19, but were hurt by Carcillos costly penalty in the second. "Not happy, thats for sure," Chicago star Patrick Kane said. "Its a team we should beat. Giving up two on the 5-minute penalty kill changed the momentum of the game. But we still shouldnt (have) lost to a team like that." Hayes first career goal in his second game trimmed Edmontons lead to 4-3 with 3:49 left. The Blackhawks then got a power-play opportunity when Ryan Jones was sent off for goalie interference, but Dubnyk made a couple of big stops to preserve the victory. Dubnyk finished with 39 saves. Corey Crawford had 26 stops for Chicago. "Its one where we think we should have gotten points out of," Crawford said. "It didnt happen." Smyth tied it at 1-1 just 16 seconds into the five-minute power play, whacking the puck in from the right post for his 15th goal. Edmonton then caught a break when Hall appeared to knock down Blackhawks defenceman Niklas Hjalmarsson with a stick to the face minutes later. Hjalmarsson appeared to be disoriented while he scrambled to find his stick, and Hall skated to his side and beat Crawford to give the Oilers a 2-1 lead with nine minutes left in the period. Hjalmarsson got a measure of revenge when his slap shot from just inside the blue line was tipped in by Brunette at 12:39, but the Oilers went in front again four minutes later. Eberle made a nice move to find a wide-open Sutton, whose shot from right in front of the goal went into the upper left corner for his second goal. Chicago dropped to 14-1-1 when scoring first. It also was the fourth regulation home loss for the Blackhawks this season. The Blackhawks struck first during an evenly played first period. Carcillo stole an Edmonton pass just outside the blue line in the Oilers end and fed Toews, who slid the puck past a screened Dubnyk for his team-leading 22nd goal at 12:54. Jones had a breakaway opportunity late in the period, but Crawford made a pad save to keep Chicago in front. NOTES: The Blackhawks signed first-round draft picks Mark McNeil and Phillip Danault, announcing the three-year deals with the 18-year-old centres before the game. McNeil was the 18th selection in last years NHL entry draft, and Danault was the No. 26 pick. ... Blackhawks D Steve Montador was scratched with an upper-body injury. He had played in every game this season. cheap nfl jerseys wholesale jerseys ' ' '
