He was there all night for us on the defensive end, Chris Paul said. They did a good job of making us play at their pace, and we never got a chance to get a lot of consecutive stops.

The really good teams rely on defence to win games.Jordan had 19 rebounds against the Pacers in a 103-96 win at Indiana on Dec. 10.Thats what it came down to — getting stops and executing, said Jordan, who was one rebound short of his career high. My job for our team is to be a defender, rebounder, shot blocker, and to just be the back line for us. That means controlling the paint, grabbing all the loose balls and limiting teams to one shot.Paul had 20 points and nine assists, helping the Clippers win for the 11th time in 13 games.The Pacers, who snapped an eight-game losing streak with their 110-91 rout of the Lakers on Monday night at Indiana, dropped their seventh straight road game. David West and reserve C.J. Miles each had 17 points.Jordan is one of the best (offensive rebounders) in the league, Pacers coach Frank Vogel said. Youve got their 3-point game to worry about, you have Griffin to worry about, and you have Chris Paul on the lob to worry about. So even if you get a stop, Jordan is under the basket knocking people around. Thats why they are a great team.The Pacers led 85-81 with 8:50 to play, but they made only three field goals in the final 5:38 and Miles missed a potential game-winning 3-pointer at the final horn.Miles dunk gave Indiana a six-point advantage before the Clippers went on a 14-4 spurt that put them ahead 97-93 with 2:35 left.They made some toough plays down the stretch, and we werent able to make enough of them, West said.

Hibbert picked up his fourth foul with 10:08 left in the third quarter and finished with seven points in 16 minutes.The broken right leg that Paul George sustained on Aug. 1 during a scrimmage with the U.S. national team at Las Vegas, has taken quite a toll on the two-time defending Central Division champion Pacers (8-18).
