Millsap steals Russell's Thunder

Wizards wiped out thanks to Young's magic moment

Indiana's final offensive possession didn't go according to plan, though the Pacers won't complain.

Paul George was supposed to get the ball with the game tied at 105 and 4.6 seconds left on Monday night.

Instead, it was Thaddeus Young who popped up to the top of the key to take Jeff Teague's inbound pass.

Young squared up defender Markieff Morris, drove to the left of the lane and tossed in a runner with 0.9 seconds remaining to give the Pacers a 107-105 victory over Washington Wizards.

"The plan was to get the ball to Paul for the last shot and they denied him," said Pacers coach Nate McMillan.

"Thad came to the ball and we wanted to attack the basket. Thad did what he was supposed to do. He put his head down and attacked the basket.

"When the game is on the line, you want to get the ball to your best player to get a shot or get a shot for an open teammate."

George scored 27 and finished with nine rebounds. Teague added 23 points to go with 10 assists.

However, the Pacers needed the last of Young's 12 points after the Wizards scored seven straight to tie it. Young also added 11 rebounds.

Bradley Beal missed a potential winning 3-pointer at the buzzer and scored 22 points.

Marcin Gortat finished with 21 points and 13 rebounds, John Wall added 19 points and 10 assists, and Otto Porter Jr. scored 17 and grabbed nine rebounds.

Myles Turner finished with eight rebounds, 20 points and five blocks, including an emphatic rejection in the third quarter that sent Wall's layup into the third row of spectators.

Turner fouled out of the game with less than two minutes remaining.
