First Shumpert is settling for jumpers while guarded by West and then he fouls P George on a 3-pointer. Must be the 1990 high top fade

Hibbert just picked up his 2nd foul. He's headed to the bench with Pacers trailing 14-11

Ratings continue to be high for Pacers-Knicks. Game 4 in Indy drew a 12.1 on @NBAonTNT.

Vogel: "This is going to be the most difficult game of the series." But, they have a lot of confidence from closing out the Hawks in ATL.

Pacers are leaving at noon for NY, earlier than usual to beat rush hour. They'll then have a team meeting at the hotel.

Fox59 only station to send a reporter to practice today. The rest sent just camera guys. I don't plan to ask any questions to help'em out

Great scoop by @KyleNeddenriep that Eric Gordon's brother is transferring to IU indystar.com/apps/pbcs.dll/…

Melo: "It’s almost funny & kind of frustrating to keep sitting here talking about our off. & not being able to score..w the weapons we have"

Something tells me the Pacers WON'T show up at MSG wearing all black like a certain other team did to Boston. That's NOT their style

Pacers 93, Knicks 82: Game 4 LIVE blog sfy.co/p6Or #storify #nbaplayoffs #knicks

I know we live in Indiana. But this should not be happening outside of a fine dinning restaurant. GOAT!!!! http://t.co/xgp82vtpYS

Vogel:"Our effort was off the charts.I couldn't be more proud of our def. effort, our rebounding effort & our willingness to share the ball"

Vogel on Hill: "He was spectacular, maybe the best game I ever saw him play. He was great defensively…and making all the winning plays."

David West: "[Our goal] these last two games was to come in here and maintain home court. We didn't want to do anything other than that."

Four games complete in this series, four different Pacers at the podium. instagram.com/p/ZUKL7pF5bH/

The Pacers remain undefeated at home this postseason (5-0) and the Knicks still haven't won a playoff game at BLF.

Beauty of a live blog is the game is wrapped up as soon as it's over. blogs.1070thefan.com/?p=6088

Carmelo Anthony fouls out shoving George Hill in the back, reinforcing by previous Titus Young tweet.

Melo heads to the bench for good, fouling out with 24 points on 9-of-23 shooting. The Pacers will take that shooting every day of the week

Carmelo Anthony fouls out with 24 points on 23 shots. The fans let him hear it to the tune of "Hit the road jack." Pacers up 11, 2min….

Somebody tell Paul George he needs 3 assists for a triple-double so he can stop going all Melo.

JR Smith doing a nice job making sure the box score doesn't look like he stunk it up.

Knicks have no answer for Paul George, so they resort to fouling him--hard. 'Melo picks up his 5th w/ 6:45 left. Pacers up 17.

When a guy hits another guy in the head from behind, is that a flagrant foul?

Mario Andretti in the house. Sorry, Dos Equis dude, but Mario is truly the most interesting man in the world.

Rik Smits, Mario Andretti, Cory Redding, Robert Mathis, and Pat McAfee all shown on the video board and receiving loud ovations.

On the court you've got Lance Jr. talking to Mike Epps. In the stands, you've got Lance Sr., sporting a No. 1 jersey, high fiving fans

Lance with a man's drive to make it 74-61, hits the floor and ... what's this? He gets right back up?

Lance Stephenson with a decisive cut to the hoop and finish. Pacers up 74-61 with 8:50 remaining.

PG is doing an excellent job getting through screens - and not going under. 'Melo has no room for comfort, having to work for each shot.

What does $19.9 million get you? Four fouls and four rebounds in five minutes for Stoudemire

Can any of the New York writers tell me why Woodson keeps putting Kidd in the game?

Raymond Felton walked away like he needed a "Woosaw" session after Mahinmi beat up his shot

Pacers rolling. They're up 63-45 with 4:42 left in the 3rd. George Hill has 10 of his 19 in the quarter.

For the record, Woodson's starting lineup has been outscored 24-12.

Knicks only team left in playoffs capable of making worse decisions than Titus Young.

George Hill liking his matchup vs Felton. Attacking every time. He's up to 17pts on 8-of-12 shooting. Pacers lead 59-43, 5:39 3Q.

Hill drives, is fouled, scores and then flexes his tatted up arms as @TheRealMikeEpps flies out his seat

Anthony hobbling up the court. Grimacing over his right ankle.

Potential trouble spot for Pacers, as Hibbert picks up his fourth with 7:17 left in period, heads to bench for Mahinmi.

Hibbert just went to the bench with 4 fouls. Pacers up 54-43 with 7:14 left in the 3rd

Hibbert (4p, 9r) now has four fouls, has to sit down. Mahinmi checks in.

Knicks not settling for jumpers to open the second half. All three FGs at the rim, and Anthony now shooting FTs.

Knicks come out attacking the bucket on every possession: tip, layup, layup, free throws.

Woodson sticks with that lineup that worked so well at the start of the game.

Knicks have presented their thorax. Pacers need to apply their sole.

Pacers up 30-18 on boards, 22-10 in paint, 17-7 on 2nd chances, 7-0 on fast break. Yeah, it's been like that.

Bumped into 31 in, of all places, the men's room at halftime. And no, I wasn't making boom boom, baby.

Pacers up 48-34 at the half. They have 17pts off nine offensive rebounds. PG has 12pts. Knicks shot 33%.

Strong finish to the half for the Pacers. They head into the break with a 48-34 lead. Paul George with 12 pts.

OK, now the Pacers are running away.

Fouls quickly adding up for the Knicks. Stoudemire, Martin, Chandler each with 3. Pacers up 41-32 w/ 1:57 left in the half.

This is what the big lineup gets you. Amare. Kenyon and Chandler all with 3 fouls each for the Knicks. Pacers up 41-30

Knicks have now fired up 13 3-pointers, two more than all of Game 3. They're just 2-for-13 (15%).

Kenyon Martin now has 3 fouls, along with Stoudemire. Pacers +13 on the boards; 18-8 points in the paint.

The way the Pacers commit some brutal turnovers, the Knicks commit some brutal fouls.

Only the best seats for Dan Dakich. @1070thefan http://t.co/FGewt80djr

Official just flat-out missed the call. Hibbert had all ball on Anthony.

Paul George 1 of 4 from the line, Pacers 3 of 7 as a team.

As bad as the Nix have looked in 1st half, and it is very, very bad, Pacers not exactly running away.

And Jason Kidd drives in for a sneak-strapping layup ... except he didn't.

And Amare has 3 fouls now. Woodson is keeping him in.
