NBA Playoffs 2014: Indiana Pacers Recover In Time! One More Win To Conference Finals! Paul George Back To MVP Form Has Miami Heat Taking Second Looks!

The Indiana Pacers were left for dead in the first round. They were inexplicably taken to the seventh game by the measly Atlanta Hawks.

There was also the destructive slump by Roy Hibbert that led to various speculations. The most drastic one was the rumor that Hibbert was upset with Paul George for sleeping with his alleged fiancée.

Paul George responded to the rumor with a picture of them fishing. Roy Hibbert responded with what the Pacers' fans were looking for-a good game.

Hibbert shared to Grantland: "We fished for about two hours and just relaxed and didn't talk about basketball. We just talked about life and trying to catch some bass."

But that's not all. The vigilant fans of the Pacers also helped as he told the AP: "He woke me up. He said I was tired. He was saying a lot of obscenities. I'm a God-fearing man, so I'm not going to go ahead and say what he was saying."

Meanwhile, they took the all important Game 4 right at the Nation's capital city. Game 4 is very important. The difference between 3-1 and 2-2 could dictate the rest of the series. With that lead, the Pacers only need one game to clinch a conference finals seat-and their much awaited rematch with the Miami Heat.

Paul George played like an MVP like he did at the start of the year.

Coach Frank Vogel was overwhelmed: "I kept wanting to try to get him a rest, and he kept saying, 'No.' And usually I'll override that, but he kept making big shots, too."

Coach Wittman of the Wizards also took notice that their main man is steps ahead of his own guy, John Wall.

"John's going to close out games and this is part of his growing up." Wall passed up on taking the big shot in the final seconds while George kept taking them.

George Hill, Pacers' point guard states: "Paul is Paul. You know that you're going to get 150 percent every time he's on the court. He knows he's the go-to guy on this team."

This serves as a warning to the Miami Heat. The cakewalk is over. The Pacers are back. LeBron James is sure to take notice.
