OKLAHOMA CITY -- Indiana coach Nate McMillan wrote an instruction on the white board in the Pacers locker room Sunday: Scrap.Jeff Teague did just that, scoring eight of his 30 points in overtime, harassing Russell Westbrook defensively all night and lifting the short-handed Pacers to a 115-111 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder.It was Indianas first road victory of the season and it came without star forward Paul George, who missed his second straight game with a sore left ankle.Youve got to fight for everything, McMillan said. I thought the guys tonight, we did that. We were without a couple of players, but the guys in uniform came out and played the game the right way. They played hard and we got our first road win.Oklahoma Citys Russell Westbrook had his fifth triple-double of the season -- as many as the rest of the NBA combined -- with 31 points, 15 assists and 11 rebounds, but went 13 of 34 from the field. Westbrook calmly used an expletive to describe the way he played.We just wasnt ready, he said. Just wasnt ready tonight, starting with myself. ... I could have did a lot of things better, man. Got to come out and be ready to play. Tonight I felt like I let my guys down all around. Ive got to be better.Teague matched his season scoring high and added nine assists and six steals. He hit two free throws with 4.6 seconds left in regulation to put the Pacers up three.Westbrook hit a 3-pointer with 2.4 seconds left to tie it for the Thunder and Glenn Robinson III missed a well-guarded 10-footer at the buzzer, forcing overtime.Teagues 3-pointer in the opening minute of overtime put the Pacers ahead for good. With 1:09 left, he converted a three-point play to make it 113-107, and he hit two free throws with 19.1 seconds left to put Indiana up 115-111. He said the Pacers werent flustered after Westbrooks tying 3-pointer at the end of regulation and that McMillan told his team just to go win the game.We had nothing to lose there, Teague said. We knew they were going to make some plays, so we just have to go out and win the game.Six Pacers scored in double figures and two of them had double-doubles -- Robinson with 16 points and 11 rebounds, and Thaddeus Young with 20 points and 11 rebounds. Myles Turner just missed another with 15 points and nine rebounds.Enes Kanter added 16 points for the Thunder.Oklahoma City rallied from a 15-point second-half deficit to force overtime but wasnt able to recover from a dismal third quarter in which it missed 12 of its first 13 shots and went 4 of 17 from the field.TIP-INS:Pacers: Robinson III made his first start of the season in place of George (ankle) and C.J. Miles (knee), who also sat out due to injury. ... Another forward, Kevin Seraphin, also missed the game with a sore left knee ... Teague matched his career high with six steals.Thunder: Oklahoma City saw its Northwest Division lead shrink to a half-game over Portland. ... The Thunder ended a stretch during which they played eight out of nine games at home. ... The overtime was the second of the season for Oklahoma City, which beat Phoenix on Oct. 28 after an extra period.GEORGE, MILES OUT:George missed his third game, and his second in a row, since spraining his left ankle against Philadelphia on Nov. 11, while the player whos started in his place, Miles, sat out with a sore left knee that he hurt on Friday in a loss to Phoenix.Both players underwent MRIs on Saturday and while the results were negative for structural damage, McMillan said George and Miles would also be out for Mondays home game against Golden State, and then will be reassessed to determine their availability for Wednesdays game against Atlanta.QUOTABLE:I have been waiting on my opportunity, just working hard the whole offseason. This guy (Seraphin) told me a couple of days ago, literally, `Be ready. You never know. Then I walk in the gym and (George) is out, C.J. is hurt and I got to step up. I am just proud of this whole team for sticking together and fighting even though we are a couple of men down. -- Robinson on his performance.UP NEXT:Pacers: Host Golden State on the second night of a back-to-back featuring last seasons Western Conference finalists.Thunder: At the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday night to start a three-game trip. http://www.authenticshoptitans.com/earl-campbell-jersey/ . With the first unit struggling of late and Amir Johnson - one of the teams iron men - hobbling on an injured right ankle, Patterson knew he could get the nod in a challenging matchup against one of the leagues up and coming players at his position. http://www.authenticshoptitans.com/erik-walden-jersey/ . Clarkson had been dealing with an elbow injury in early January and will be out of action for at least one week. He has three goals and five assists through 36 games with the Leafs this season. http://www.authenticshoptitans.com/austin-johnson-jersey/ .7 million, one-year contract, a raise of $2.2 million. Wieters had asked for $8.75 million and the Orioles had offered $6. http://www.authenticshoptitans.com/hoodie/ .J. -- New York Giants wide receiver Victor Cruz will miss the rest of the season after having surgery on his left knee. http://www.authenticshoptitans.com/eddie-george-jersey/ . Vokoun departed practice on Saturday morning after discovering swelling in his thigh. He was taken to a local hospital where the clot was revealed. The club announced the surgery following a 5-3 exhibition loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets. Hit your snooze button.The College Football Playoff selection committee kept No. 1 Alabama, No. 2 Ohio State, No. 3 Michigan and No. 4 Clemson in the same spots as last week in its fourth CFP ranking of the season, but Louisville sank from No. 5 to No. 11, and new No. 5 Washington took its spot on the bubble heading into the Apple Cup on Friday against Washington State.The Huskies were followed by No. 6 Wisconsin and No. 7 Penn State, showing that No. 8 Oklahoma still has some work to do -- and needs some upsets to happen -- in order to move up. The Sooners earned their first win of the season against a ranked opponent Saturday at West Virginia, but it clearly wasnt enough to sway the committee to bump OU ahead of the two-loss Big Ten teams.The Sooners and No. 12 USC have been two of the hottest teams in the country in recent weeks, with OU winning eight straight and the Trojans winning seven straight, but they remain on the outside looking in. Its certainly possible that could change in the next two weeks, but the committee has made it clear again, in this particular snapshot, that both teams still need some help.In the Group of 5, one-loss No. 19 Boise State and two-loss No. 20 Houston were both ahead of undefeated No. 21 Western Michigan, again underscoring the committees emphasis on strength of schedule over an undefeated record. No. 25 Navy was also ranked this week after clinching the American Athletic Conference West Division.Heres what the bracket would look like today:As for the other major bowls, heres a projection based on the current ranking:The Rose Bowl Game presented by Northwestern Mutual gets the Pac-12 champ, which in this case would be No. 5 Washington. Since the Big Ten champ (assuming its either Ohio State or Michigan in this case) and another Big Ten team are in a semifinal, the Rose Bowl would choose the next highest-raanked Big Ten team, which would be No.dddddddddddd 6 Wisconsin.The Allstate Sugar Bowl is guaranteed the Big 12 champ, which would be No. 8 Oklahoma, but because SEC champ Alabama is in the semifinal, it would take the next highest-ranked SEC team, No. 13 Auburn.The Capital One Orange Bowl is guaranteed the ACC champion, but because Clemson is in a semifinal, it would take the next highest-ranked team, which would be No. 11 Louisville. The Orange Bowl then chooses the next highest-ranked team from the SEC, Big Ten or Notre Dame. In this case, it would be No. 7 Penn State.The highest-ranked Group of 5 conference champion is guaranteed a spot in a New Years Six bowl, so No. 19 Boise State would go to the Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic based on todays ranking. The reality of the situation, though, is that Boise State still needs Wyoming to lose at New Mexico on Saturday to win the Mountain Wests Mountain Division. If that doesnt happen, it opens the door for a team such as Western Michigan. The Cotton Bowl would then get the highest-ranked at-large team, which would be No. 9 Colorado.Heres what the New Years Six could look like, based on todays rankings:Dec. 308 p.m. ET: Capital One Orange Bowl: No. 7 Penn State vs. No. 11 LouisvilleDec. 313 p.m. or 7 p.m. ET: College Football Playoff semifinal at the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl: No. 1 Alabama vs. No. 4 Clemson3 p.m. or 7 p.m. ET: College Football Playoff semifinal at the PlayStation Fiesta Bowl: No. 2 Ohio State vs. No. 3 MichiganJan. 21 p.m. ET: Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic: No. 9 Colorado vs. No. 19 Boise State5 p.m. ET: Rose Bowl Game presented by Northwestern Mutual: No. 6 Wisconsin vs. No. 5 Washington8:30 p.m. ET: Allstate Sugar Bowl: No. 8 Oklahoma vs. No. 13 Auburn Cheap Jerseys China NFL Jerseys China NFL Jerseys Wholesale Discount Basketball Jerseys Cheap NHL Jerseys Authentic Cheap Baseball Jerseys Free Shipping Cheapest College Jerseys Sale Cheap Football Jerseys China Nike NFL Jerseys Canada Wholesale NHL Jerseys From China MLB Jerseys Outlet Canada Wholesale NBA Jerseys Canada Store Cheap Soccer Jerseys China Cheap Authentic Jerseys Canada ' ' '
