Minneapolis, MN (SportsNetwork. Justin Faulk Jersey .com) - C.J. Miles scored 28 points off the bench to lead the Indiana Pacers to a 100-96 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Sunday. Roy Hibbert supplied 15 points with eight rebounds and David West netted 14 points for Indiana, which snapped an eight-game road losing streak. Our guys have been deep in the playoffs, they showed great composure and we were able to pull out the win, Pacers coach Frank Vogel said. Mo Williams poured in 24 points with 10 assists for the Timberwolves, while Shabazz Muhammad and Chase Budinger deposited 21 and 13 points, respectively. Minnesota has lost five straight. Williams 3-pointer gave the Timberwolves a 90-89 lead late, their first advantage since it was 3-2 early in the first. Hibbert answered at the other end with a layup before Williams worked a pick- and-roll with Gorgui Dieng and knocked down the jumper from the top of the key. The seesaw affair continued with Miles burying a trey to give Indiana a 94-92 edge, but Dieng converted a pair of free throws to tie the game with 1:36 left. Hibbert missed a hook shot with under a minute to play, however, Miles pulled down the offensive rebound. Out of a timeout, West hit a jumper to push the Pacers back in front with 34.3 seconds left. Rookie Andrew Wiggins made a pivotal mistake at the other end. Williams looked for a back-door pass to Wiggins, who stepped out of bounds as he received the ball, thus turning it over. Indiana worked the ball around after the turnover and chipped eight seconds off the clock before Miles was fouled. He converted both shots from the line to make it a two-possession game with 11.7 seconds left. Newly-acquired Troy Daniels missed a long two-point try, then Luis Scola missed a pair from the line. Muhammad made a quick jumper in the closing seconds and Miles sealed it with two from the stripe. We didnt play as hard as we needed to play in the first half, Minnesota coach Flip Saunders said. (The young guys) need to play with a sense of urgency. Or they are going to sit. Miles 3 gave the Pacers a 20-17 lead after 12 minutes. Indiana then went on a 10-2 run early in the second to push the margin to 10 and it led 52-38 at the half. Minnesota worked its way back, however, as Diengs jumper late in the third cut the deficit to three. The Pacers scored six of the final eight points of the quarter, though, and led 75-68 entering the fourth. Game Notes Minnesota is 1-10 in the month of December ...

Brent, 25, showed no reaction when he learned the verdict. He was led from the courtroom in handcuffs in front of crying family members who were in the front row of the courtroom gallery. He faces up to 20 years in prison, though he could also get probation. The sentencing phase was scheduled to begin on Thursday. Lawyers from both sides remain under a gag order that prevented them from commenting after the proceedings. Prosecutors say Brent, a defensive tackle, was drunk when he crashed his Mercedes on a suburban Dallas highway in December 2012, killing Brown, a linebacker on the Cowboys practice squad who had also been Brents teammate at the University of Illinois. Officers who arrived on scene saw Brent trying to pull Browns body from the wreckage. Police say Brents blood alcohol level was tested shortly after the crash at 0.18 per cent, more than twice the legal limit for drivers in Texas. Prosecutors last week argued that the burly, 320-pound defensive tackle had as many as 17 drinks that night of the crash. Brents lawyers argued the blood tests used by police were faulty and that Brent could not have drank nearly that much. Attorney George Milner said his client was "guilty of being stupid behind the wheel of a car," not drinking beforehand. Brent retired from the NFL last year, but his ties to the Cowboys were prominent at trial. Two current players, Barry Church and Danny McCray, testified about hanging oout with Brent and Brown, first playing video games, then having dinner and going to Privae, a Dallas nightclub.Jordan Staal Jersey. Jurors saw video of Brent appearing to hold bottles of Champagne in each hand and credit-card receipts that showed Brent had purchased three bottles. They also saw police dash cam footage of Brent losing his balance during field sobriety tests and occasionally stumbling over his words while talking to officers. The case now moves to sentencing. Milner has previously said his client should receive probation, and Browns mother, Stacey Jackson, has said in interviews that she has forgiven Brent. Jackson could testify on Brents behalf at sentencing. Prosecutors have indicated they will push for jail time for Brent and have talked about the potential to send a message about intoxication manslaughter. His conviction comes just after weeks of fierce debate about a North Texas teen, Ethan Couch, who received probation for intoxication manslaughter after a wreck that left four people dead. Couchs case, and the so-called "affluenza" defence his attorneys employed, became the subject of fierce, widespread scrutiny. Dallas County District Attorney Craig Watkins has attended parts of Brents trial and whispered in prosecutors ears during the questioning of one witness. Watkins told a sports radio station last year that prosecutors had the responsibility to make sure Brent "loses his freedom." Brent, a defensive tackle, had played in all 12 games of the 2012 NFL season before the crash. He retired in July. Brown was signed to the Cowboys practice squad in the 2012 season. Cheap JerseysWholesale Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys Cheap Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap Jerseys China Wholesale Jerseys ' ' '
